EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the Duchess of York, later to become Queen Elizabeth II, cradles her youngest daughter, Princess Margaret, while her eldest daughter, the future Queen Elizabeth II, sits playfully on the floor between them. Taken in 1902, the image captures a tender moment in the young family's life, as Princess Elizabeth, then just two years old, gazes up at her mother with a look of curiosity and delight. The Duchess of York, born Princess Elizabeth of Hesse and by Rhine, was the wife of the future King George VI. Their marriage took place in 1923, and they went on to have two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret. This photograph was likely taken shortly after the birth of Princess Margaret in 1930, making the girls around one and three years old, respectively. The image is a poignant reminder of the early years of the royal family's history, a time of joy and hope that would be tested in the years to come. With the abdication of King Edward VIII in 1936 and the subsequent accession of George VI, the Duchess of York became Queen Consort, and her eldest daughter, Elizabeth, was next in line to the throne. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a precious document of the family's history and a testament to the love and devotion between a mother and her children. It is a reminder of the human side of the royal family, and the enduring bond between parents and their offspring, that transcends the passage of time and the weight of history. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a beautiful and evocative glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of the royal family in the early 20th century. It is a treasure trove of historical significance and a reminder of the rich and complex history of the British monarchy.
