EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen of England, is seen gracefully dancing a quick-step at the Aboyne Ball, held in the Victory Hall, Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, on the 11th of November 1949. The Princess, who was accompanied by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, was making her first social appearance on Deeside. The Duke, who was wearing a kilt and royal Stuart tartan sash, looked on proudly as his wife danced with Mr. David Bogle. The Princess's lime green gown, adorned with intricate beading and a flowing train, was a stunning contrast against the traditional Scottish setting. Her hair was styled in a elegant updo, and she wore a sporan, adding to the regal and festive atmosphere of the occasion. The Aboyne Ball was an old-fashioned event, reminiscent of the Scottish dances that had been a part of the royal family's history for centuries. Apart from the Braemar gathering, this was the royal couple's first dance together, and they began with an old-fashioned waltz. The image captures a moment of joy and happiness, as the Princess and her partner move in perfect harmony, surrounded by the cheers and applause of the crowd. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1940s and the Scottish scenes of royalty, dancing, and tradition. It is a reminder of the enduring connection between the British monarchy and Scotland, and the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
