EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, two young princesses, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret of York, are seen enjoying a sunny afternoon in the garden at St. Paul's Waldenbury in Welwyn, Hertfordshire, in August 1932. The sisters, who were the eldest and second eldest children of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother), are dressed in simple summer frocks and are intently focused on their gardening tasks. The tranquil scene captures the playful and carefree spirit of the young princesses, who were known for their love of the outdoors and their close bond. The garden at St. Paul's Waldenbury was a favorite place for the royal family to retreat, providing a welcome respite from the formalities and responsibilities of royal life. The photograph was taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, which was a leading source of news and images during the early 20th century. The image, which was published in the Illustrated London News on December 7, 1932, offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of the young princesses and their family. Today, this photograph remains an enduring symbol of the youth and innocence of Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, who would go on to become Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, respectively. The image also serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of childhood, and the importance of cherishing moments spent with family in the great outdoors.
