EDITORS COMMENTS
A Regal Beginning: The Birth of Princess Elizabeth, 1926 This cover image from The Sphere, dated 1926, marks the announcement of the birth of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Duke and Duchess of York, later known as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are pictured in front of their London residence at 17 Bruton Street. The couple's joyful expressions radiate as they pose for the camera, eager to share the news of their new addition to the royal family. The Duke, wearing a formal suit, holds a cigar, while the Duchess, dressed elegantly in a long coat and hat, cradles a bouquet of flowers. The couple's home, a grand townhouse in the heart of Mayfair, serves as the perfect backdrop for this momentous occasion. The birth of Princess Elizabeth, who would later become the longest-reigning monarch in British history, brought a renewed sense of hope and excitement to the nation. The cover of The Sphere, with its regal and intimate portrayal of the Duke and Duchess, offered readers a glimpse into the lives of the royals at a time when such access was rare. This image stands as a testament to the enduring fascination with the British monarchy and the anticipation that surrounded the birth of a future queen. The Duke and Duchess's joyful expressions and the warm welcome of their home reflect the optimism and pride that marked the early years of Elizabeth's life and reign.
