EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a precious moment from the childhood of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as she is carried in a white lace and satin christening gown towards a waiting carriage, following her baptism in the Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace on May 29, 1926. At the time, Princess Elizabeth, the eldest child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother), was just under two years old. Surrounded by her proud parents and godparents, the future monarch appears serene and content, her eyes gazing up at the faces of those present, as she embarks on the next stage of her royal infancy. The christening marked an important milestone in the young princess's life, signifying her formal entry into the Church of England and her destiny as the heir to the British throne. This historic event took place just over nine years before Elizabeth's accession to the throne in 1952, making this photograph a poignant reminder of her humble beginnings and the enduring legacy of the British monarchy.
