EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness Prince Philip are seen leaving the home of Mrs. Elsie Jenkins in Alice Springs during their Royal Tour of Australia in 1963. The Edinburgh couple had come to visit the famous opal mining town in the Northern Territory, and Mrs. Jenkins, a renowned opal collector, was honored to host them. The Queen and Prince Philip were greeted with warm hospitality as they entered the humble abode, adorned with traditional Aboriginal art and decor. Mrs. Jenkins proudly displayed her extensive collection of precious opals, which had been gathered from the nearby mines. The monarch and her consort were fascinated by the mesmerizing stones, their iridescent colors reflecting the sunlight streaming in through the windows. As they bid farewell to their gracious hostess, the Queen and Prince Philip were presented with gifts of opals to remember their visit to Alice Springs. The image captures a moment of genuine connection between the Royal Family and the people of Australia, as they share in the awe of the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of this unique region. The Royal Tour of Australia in 1963 was a significant event in the history of the Commonwealth, and this photograph stands as a testament to the warmth and hospitality extended to the Queen and Prince Philip during their visit to Alice Springs. The opals, symbolizing the enduring bond between the monarchy and the Australian people, continue to shine brightly in the annals of history.
