EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Princess Elizabeth, later to become Queen Elizabeth II, bids farewell to the crew of the royal train during her historic Royal Tour of Canada in 1951. The Princess, dressed in a stylish coat and wearing a beautiful tiara, is seen shaking hands with the train porters at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The year was 1951, and the 50s were in full swing. Princess Elizabeth, who was still in her late twenties at the time, exuded grace and poise as she donned a fur collar to ward off the chill of the Canadian autumn. The Royal Tour of Canada was an important moment in the young Princess's life, marking her first major solo tour as a member of the British Royal Family. The warm reception she received from the Canadian people helped to solidify her popularity and prepared her for the role of monarch that she would assume just a few years later. This image captures a moment of connection between the Princess and the hardworking crew of the royal train, a poignant reminder of the human touch that underscores even the most grandiose royal tours.
