EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, taken at the Braemar Highland Games in 1934, we find a young and vibrant Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022) and her younger sister, Princess Margaret (1930-2002), sharing a joyful moment with their cousin, Margaret Elphinstone (later Margaret Rhodes, 1925-2016). The sisters, both dressed in traditional Scottish attire, are beaming with delight as they engage in conversation with their beloved cousin. The Braemar Highland Games, held annually in the picturesque village of Braemar in the Scottish Highlands, is a traditional event steeped in history and royal tradition. The Princesses and their cousin were likely in attendance with their family, including their father, the Duke of York (later King George VI) and their mother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. This photograph captures a special moment in time, as the future monarch and her sister, who would go on to become the Queen and the Countess of Snowdon respectively, share a lighthearted moment with their cherished cousin. The sisters' close bond is evident, as they lean in towards each other, their laughter and happiness shining through. The 1930s, a decade marked by economic prosperity and social change, were a significant time in the lives of these young royals. This photograph offers a glimpse into their childhood, a time of innocence and joy, as they celebrated their Scottish heritage and the rich traditions of their family. The Princesses' elegant attire, the lush greenery of the park, and the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands all contribute to the timeless beauty of this photograph, making it a cherished piece of royal history.
