Birthday Portrait - 21st April, 1944
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite photograph capturing the radiant 18-year-old Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) on her birthday in 1944. The image, taken in the mid-1940s, is a precious document of the young princess's youthful beauty and grace. Princess Elizabeth, born on April 21, 1926, was the heir presumptive to the British throne following the abdication of her uncle, King Edward VIII, in 1936. Her father, King George VI, ascended to the throne, making Elizabeth the first in line to the throne. In this portrait, the young princess is seen in profile, wearing a simple yet elegant blouse with a pearl necklace adorning her neck. Her hair is styled in soft waves, framing her delicate features. The photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection, as if the princess is lost in thought, making it all the more intriguing and endearing. The portrait is from the book "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive," written by Dermot Morrah and published by Odhams Press Limited in London in 1947. The book chronicled the life of the young princess from her childhood to her adulthood, providing a fascinating glimpse into her world. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, adding to the mystery and allure of this iconic image. It is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring legacy of Princess Elizabeth, who went on to become one of the most beloved and respected monarchs in British history.
