EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1946, showcases an elegant and radiant Queen Elizabeth, the Consort of King George VI, as she prepares for their upcoming tour of South Africa. The front cover image exudes an air of regal sophistication and excitement for the new year. Queen Elizabeth, dressed in a stunning evening gown, exudes grace and elegance. Her gown, with its intricate beading and flowing silhouette, complements her slender figure and enhances her natural beauty. The diamonds adorning her person are a dazzling sight to behold, with a magnificent tiara gracing her forehead, a necklace cascading down her chest, and bracelets and earrings adding to the overall effect. The Queen's diamonds were a symbol of her status as a member of the British Royal Family, and the diamonds in this photograph are particularly noteworthy. They include the Cullinan II and III diamonds, which were part of the historic Cullinan Diamond discovery in South Africa in 1905. These diamonds were gifted to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth upon their marriage in 1923. The photograph captures a moment in history, as the newlywed couple embarked on their first major tour as monarch and consort, respectively. The tour was an opportunity for the British monarchy to reconnect with its colonial subjects and to strengthen diplomatic relations. The image of the Queen, resplendent in her diamonds and evening gown, serves as a reminder of the enduring power and allure of the British monarchy during this period. This photograph is a testament to the beauty, grace, and history of the British monarchy, and is a must-have for any collection of royal or historical imagery.
