EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth II, beams with warmth and delight as she congratulates a young rider during a gymkhana event in the 1930s. The Princess, who was just 13 years old at the time, was already an accomplished equestrian herself, having developed a deep love for horses from an early age. Gymkhanas were popular social events during the interwar period, bringing together riders of all ages and abilities to compete in a variety of equestrian games and challenges. Princess Elizabeth's attendance at this event showcases her passion for horses and her connection with the rural community, which would remain a significant part of her life throughout her reign. The young rider, with a proud smile on her face, stands next to her pony, which is adorned with colorful ribbons and rosettes, symbolizing her achievements in the various competitions. Princess Elizabeth, dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, wears a broad-brimmed hat and a warm expression as she extends her hand to offer her congratulations. The background of the photograph reveals a bustling scene of activity, with other riders and their ponies milling about, spectators cheering and clapping, and the vibrant colors of tents and banners adding to the festive atmosphere. This image captures a moment of joy and camaraderie between the future monarch and a young girl, demonstrating the enduring bond between the British monarchy and the equestrian tradition. This photograph offers a glimpse into Princess Elizabeth's girlhood, revealing her love for horses and her ability to connect with people from all walks of life. It serves as a poignant reminder of her dedication to the equestrian world and her commitment to maintaining the rich heritage of the British monarchy.
