EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, is seen leaving her London residence at 17 Bruton Street on May 29, 1926, en route to Buckingham Palace for the christening of her firstborn child, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II. The Duchess, dressed in an elegant white dress and hat, cradles her baby in her arms as she steps out of the carriage, surrounded by an admiring crowd. The Duchess's husband, the Duke of York (later King George VI), is not present in the image but is believed to have accompanied them to the palace. The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation, as the people of Britain eagerly awaited the christening of their future monarch. The photograph captures a moment of joy and wonder, as the young royal family embarks on their journey to the palace, surrounded by the warmth and support of their people. The image is a testament to the enduring fascination and connection between the British monarchy and its people, and offers a glimpse into the past, as we celebrate the milestones and traditions of the royal family.
