EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on April 18, 1947, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, and their two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, are seen in the De Beers office in Kimberley, South Africa, as they are shown a display of exquisite diamonds by Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, the renowned chairman of De Beers. The Royal Family's visit to the diamond mines of Kimberley marked a significant moment in the history of the diamond industry and the monarchy. The King, Queen, and their daughters were on a tour of South Africa to strengthen the relationship between the British monarchy and the South African government. During their visit to the De Beers office, they were given a private viewing of some of the most exceptional diamonds ever discovered. Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, an influential figure in the diamond industry, took great pleasure in presenting the Royal Family with this dazzling display. The Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, respectively, were captivated by the brilliance and beauty of the diamonds. The photograph captures a moment of wonder and fascination as they lean in to examine the diamonds more closely. The King and Queen, too, appear engrossed in the display, with the King pointing out particular diamonds of interest to his family. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the diamond industry in South Africa and the enduring connection between the British monarchy and the country. The visit of the Royal Family to the De Beers office in Kimberley in 1947 remains an important chapter in the history of both the diamond industry and the monarchy.
