EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, is captured in a moment of joy and relaxation during a dance given at the Hotel Phoenicia in Malta by the Wardroom Mess of Naval Headquarters, Lascaris in 1951. The Princess, then a young and radiant monarch-in-waiting, is seen smilingly buying a hot dog from Captain Ben Fisher, the Captain of the Fleet, who had donned a chef's outfit for a special cabaret performance. The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, is partially hidden behind a miniature Christmas tree in the background, adding a festive touch to the scene. Admiral Sir John Edelsten, Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet, and his wife Lady Edelsten, are also present in the photograph, adding an air of regal elegance to the event. The image captures the playful and lighthearted spirit of the evening, with the Princess and the Duke enjoying themselves amongst the naval officers. The Hotel Phoenicia, a historic landmark in Malta, provided the perfect setting for this memorable occasion. The Wardroom Mess, a traditional British naval institution, had organized the dance as a way to entertain the Royal Family during their visit to the Mediterranean island. The cabaret performance by the officers, including Captain Fisher's impersonation of a chef, added an element of surprise and delight to the evening, making it a truly unforgettable experience for all involved. This photograph is a testament to the close relationship between the British monarchy and the naval forces, as well as the sense of camaraderie and fun that existed between the officers and the Royal Family during this time. The image also showcases the youthful and approachable nature of the future Queen Elizabeth II, who would go on to reign for over six decades, earning the love and respect of her people.
