EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, a young and radiant Princess Elizabeth of York, later to become Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, enjoys a day out at the Highland Games in Ballater, Scotland, during the mid 1930s, around 1937. The Princess, who was born on April 21, 1926, is seen seated in the royal pavilion, her eyes fixed on the action taking place in the field before her. Dressed in a charming tartan coat and matching hat, she looks every inch the part of a Scottish princess. The Highland Games, a traditional Scottish event showcasing athletic competitions, music, and dancing, held a special place in the hearts of the British royal family. The Princess's father, King George VI, and her mother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, were both avid supporters of the Games, and the young Princess was no exception. Surrounded by her mother and a lady-in-waiting, the future monarch watches intently as competitors display their strength and agility in various events, such as the caber toss, the hammer throw, and the shot put. A young boy, likely a local participant, catches her attention, and she smiles warmly at him, her genuine delight evident in her expression. This image offers a rare glimpse into the life of a young Princess Elizabeth, who would go on to reign for over 70 years, making her the longest-reigning monarch in British history. The photograph serves as a reminder of her early years, her love for Scotland, and her connection to the rich traditions of her country.
