Balcony Duchess Piccadilly Regal 1927 Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, taken in 1927, the Duke and Duchess of York, later to become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, proudly display their newborn baby daughter, Princess Elizabeth, to the adoring crowds from the balcony of their Piccadilly home. The young family's radiant smiles and regal bearing exude an air of joy and contentment, as they bask in the love and admiration of their subjects. The Duke and Duchess of York had married just three years earlier, in 1923, and the arrival of their first child was a cause for great celebration. Princess Elizabeth, who would later ascend to the throne in 1952 as Queen Elizabeth II, was born on April 21, 1926, and this photograph captures a precious moment in the early days of her life. The picture was taken at 17 Bruton Street, the Yorks' London residence, which was located in the fashionable Mayfair district. The elegant balcony, adorned with potted plants and draped in flowing fabric, provides a fitting backdrop for the royal family's debut appearance with their newborn daughter. The Duke and Duchess of York's connection with the people was already strong, and this heartwarming moment further solidified their popularity. The image of the young family, bathed in sunlight and surrounded by the cheers and well-wishes of the crowd, is a testament to the enduring bond between the monarchy and the British people. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is an invaluable addition to any collection of royal memorabilia or family history archive. It offers a captivating glimpse into the past, allowing us to share in the joy and wonder of a moment that would shape the future of the British monarchy.
