EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history as Elizabeth, the Duchess of York and future Queen Elizabeth II, bids farewell to her family before embarking on a tour of Kenya with her husband, the Duke of York (later King George VI), in 1926. The image, taken just before their departure, is a poignant reminder of the young couple's first major royal tour, which marked the beginning of Elizabeth's journey towards becoming the longest-reigning monarch in British history. The photograph, originally in black and white, has been artfully retouched in vibrant crayon, adding a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to the historical image. Elizabeth, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress and hat, gazes intently at her husband and young children, her expression a mix of determination and affection. The Duke, with a protective hand on her shoulder, looks steadfastly at the camera, a sense of duty and responsibility etched on his face. The tour, which lasted for several months, took place when Elizabeth was just 21 years old, making her the youngest royal consort in British history. It was during this time that she began to develop the strong sense of duty and grace that would define her reign, which began in 1952 following the death of her father, King George V. This photograph, taken over 90 years ago, offers a glimpse into the personal lives of the royal family and the beginning of Elizabeth's remarkable journey to the throne. With its rich history and intriguing backstory, it is a must-have for any history or royalty enthusiast.
