EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret of York are seen seated on the steps of their delightful little house, affectionately named "Bwthyn Bach to Gwellt," which means "Little House by the Brook" in Welsh. This charming cottage was a thoughtful and heartfelt sixth birthday gift from the people of Wales to Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, in 1933. The sisters, dressed in their Sunday best, appear to be in high spirits as they enjoy the sunny day and the simple pleasures of their miniature home. The exterior of the house, with its thatched roof and ivy-covered walls, exudes a rustic charm that speaks to the idyllic country life. The girls' playful expressions and the lush garden setting further emphasize the sense of joy and contentment that pervades the scene. The Royal Lodge in Windsor, where the house was located, has been a favorite residence of the British monarchy for centuries. This gift from the people of Wales served as a cherished reminder of the connection between the royal family and the Welsh people, as well as a symbol of the warmth and generosity of the community. This photograph captures a moment in time when the future queen and her sister were still children, enjoying the simple pleasures of their little house by the brook. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between the monarchy and the people, and the importance of cherishing the moments of childhood and the gifts of friendship and love.
