EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a precious moment in British royal history as Queen Mary, the consort of King George V, cradles her granddaughter Princess Elizabeth during her christening on May 29, 1926. The christening took place in the Chapel Royal at St. James's Palace in London, and was attended by members of the royal family and high-ranking dignitaries. Queen Mary, dressed in a stunning white gown and diamond diadem, gazes down at her grandchild with a tender expression, while Princess Elizabeth, dressed in a beautiful white christening gown, looks up at her grandmother with a look of curiosity and wonder. Surrounding them are other members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, who holds the baby's sister, Princess Margaret, and King George V, who looks on proudly from behind. The christening of Princess Elizabeth was a significant event in the history of the British monarchy, as she would go on to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history, serving from 1952 until her death in 2022. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the intimate moments of the royal family and the beginning of Elizabeth's journey to the throne. The image is a poignant reminder of the close bond between Queen Mary and her granddaughter, as well as the enduring tradition of the British monarchy and its role in the lives of the people it serves.
