EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1951, Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen of England, is seen engaging in a playful moment with Mayor Don Mackay of Calgary, Alberta, during her and the Duke of Edinburgh's royal tour of Canada. The couple visited Calgary to attend a rodeo at the local stadium, embracing the Western culture and traditions of the region. Mayor Mackay is seen proudly presenting Princess Elizabeth with a ten gallon hat, a quintessential symbol of the American West and the cowboy culture. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was also presented with a ten gallon hat, is seen wearing it with ease and confidence, adding a touch of authenticity to the royal visit. The 1940s-style photograph captures the essence of the era, with Princess Elizabeth's elegant fashion sense contrasting the rugged cowboy attire of the Mayor and the Duke. The Princess is dressed in a stylish coat and hat, while the Duke wears a formal suit, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. The royal tour of Canada in the 1950s was an important moment in British history, as it marked the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and her role as a global monarch. This photograph provides a glimpse into the regional traditions and cultural exchange that took place during the tour, highlighting the warmth and hospitality of the Canadian people. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of history, capturing a moment of joy and connection between the royal family and the people of Calgary during their visit to attend the rodeo in 1951.
