Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret
Princess Elizabeth (right) and Princess Margaret Rose at the last of the Duke of Yorks Camps, at Balmoral in August 1939. In 1919, the Princesses father, then Duke of York, had become President of the Boys Welfare Association - a position he would accept only on condition that no ceremonial would be attached. He wanted to draw closer to ordinary people and devoted time and consideration to the project for the next twenty years, visiting factories and institutions and organsing annual camps for boys in their late teens - half from industrial backgrounds and half from public schools. The camps were held in the grounds of Balmoral and he and his family acted as hosts and joined in with many of the activities

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret are seen enjoying a moment of relaxation at the last of the Duke of York's annual camps for boys, held at Balmoral in August 1939. The Duke of York, who would later become King George VI, had become President of the Boys Welfare Association in 1919, a position he accepted only on the condition that no ceremonial attachments were involved. He was determined to draw closer to ordinary people and dedicated the next twenty years of his life to the project. The camps, which were held in the grounds of Balmoral, brought together half of the participants from industrial backgrounds and half from public schools. The Duke and his family acted as hosts and joined in with many of the activities, providing a unique opportunity for the boys to interact with members of the royal family in an informal setting. The Duke's commitment to the welfare of young people was a reflection of his deep concern for the wellbeing of the nation's future generations. He believed that by providing opportunities for these boys to experience the outdoors, learn new skills, and build friendships, he could make a positive impact on their lives. In this photograph, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, both dressed in casual attire, appear to be enjoying the camaraderie of the camp. The image captures a rare moment of informality and joy, offering a glimpse into the lives of the future monarch and her sister during a time of relative peace before the outbreak of World War II. This photograph is a historical record of a significant moment in the lives of the Princesses and their father, and a testament to the Duke of York's enduring commitment to the welfare of young people.
