EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a young Princess Elizabeth (right) in her Girl Guides uniform, demonstrating her role as a patrol leader during a camping trip at Windsor Great Park on 24th July 1944. The future Queen, then aged just 19, is seen washing up dishes with her fellow Guides, showcasing the spirit of cooperation and teamwork that is central to the Guiding ethos. The camping trip was a welcome respite from the rigors of wartime life, providing an opportunity for the Princess to connect with other young women and engage in activities that promoted personal development and community building. The image is a poignant reminder of Princess Elizabeth's formative years and her dedication to the Girl Guides movement, which she would later reignite as Queen Elizabeth II in 1952. The photograph, taken during the forties, captures the essence of the 1940s, with the simple pleasures of camping and the enduring appeal of the Girl Guides uniform.
