EDITORS COMMENTS

This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a young and radiant Princess Elizabeth of England (1926-2002) in the moment of her deepest happiness as she stands beside her fiancé, Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten (1921-1972), in 1947. The couple's engagement was announced on July 9, 1947, and the image was taken not long after, as the world eagerly awaited the wedding of the future monarch and her dashing prince. Elizabeth, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, gazes into the eyes of her beloved Philip with a tender and loving expression. The future Duke of Edinburgh, wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy, places his hand gently on her waist, a gesture of protection and devotion. The couple's happiness is palpable, and the photograph captures the sense of excitement and anticipation that surrounded their engagement and upcoming marriage. The year 1947 was a significant one for the British monarchy. Elizabeth's father, King George VI, had ascended to the throne just six years earlier, following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII. The young princess had come of age during a time of great change and uncertainty, and her engagement to Philip, a prince of Greek and Danish descent, was seen as a symbol of hope and renewal for the royal family and the British people. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty, and the deep and enduring love that can be found even in the most public of lives. The image has become an iconic representation of the couple's long and happy marriage, which lasted until Philip's death in 2002, and the enduring legacy of the Queen's reign, which continues to this day.
