EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of immense joy and national interest. It was taken on the 15th of November, 1948, when Princess Elizabeth gave birth to her son at precisely 9.14 pm. The official announcement of this blessed event was displayed outside the Home Office in Whitehall, eagerly read by sightseers who had gathered there. In the photograph, we see a group of people huddled together around the announcement board, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. Among them stands a London Special Constable, dutifully guarding this historic moment. The news has spread like wildfire across the nation, causing an outpouring of rejoicing and celebration. The birth of a royal heir is always met with great enthusiasm, as it symbolizes continuity and stability for the country. This particular occasion holds even more significance as it marks the arrival of Princess Elizabeth's firstborn child. Both mother and baby are reported to be doing well, adding to everyone's relief and happiness. This image immortalizes not just an important milestone in British history but also showcases how deeply connected people were to their royal family during that era. Photographed by Royalty from TopFoto agency, this picture serves as a reminder of a time when such announcements brought unity and pride among citizens while capturing our fascination with royalty in its purest form.
