EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth II, is invested as a bard during the Welsh Eisteddfod at Mountain Ash on the 6th of August 1946. The Eisteddfod, a prestigious Welsh cultural festival, is renowned for its traditional Welsh music, poetry, and literary competitions. Princess Elizabeth's investiture as a bard is a significant moment in her life, symbolizing her deep connection to Welsh culture and heritage. The Princess, dressed in a traditional Welsh bardic costume, is seen standing on a raised platform amidst a sea of onlookers. A bardic robe, adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, covers her shoulders and flows down to her ankles. A tall, conical hat called a "gwynfa" sits atop her head, while a golden torc encircles her neck. In her hands, she holds a ceremonial wand, or "gwynfa gwyn," symbolizing her new status as a bard. The investiture ceremony is a time-honored Welsh ritual, steeped in history and tradition. The Princess's investiture as a bard is a testament to her commitment to preserving and promoting Welsh culture. The event took place just over two years after the end of World War II, and the Princess's visit to Wales served as a morale-boosting gesture for the Welsh people, who had endured the hardships of war and its aftermath. The photograph captures the solemnity and grandeur of the occasion, with the Princess's regal presence standing out against the backdrop of the Welsh countryside. The image is a poignant reminder of Princess Elizabeth's deep connection to her Welsh roots and her dedication to preserving the rich cultural heritage of Wales.
