EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen of England, is seen in the grounds of Buckingham Palace with her younger sister, Princess Margaret. The young princesses, both dressed in Girl Guide uniforms, are deep in conversation while holding a carrier pigeon. The year is 1943, and Princess Elizabeth, as the patrol leader of the palace Girl Guide company, is sending an important message. Thinking Day, also the birthday of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting and Guiding movement, was a significant day in the Guiding calendar. To mark the occasion, Princess Elizabeth composed a thoughtful message for Lady Baden-Powell, which she entrusted to her loyal carrier pigeon. This traditional method of sending messages was a nod to the long-standing history of the Guiding movement, which had its roots in the use of pigeons for communication. The sisters' radiant smiles and focused expressions convey a sense of determination and unity, as they take part in this meaningful tradition. The tranquil setting of the palace gardens adds to the idyllic atmosphere, offering a glimpse into the young princesses' lives during wartime. The image stands as a testament to their dedication to the Guiding movement and their commitment to the values instilled by Lord Baden-Powell. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the young princesses' connection to their community and their roles as future leaders.
