Broadcasting to the Children of the Empire
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph capturing a young Princess Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth II) and her younger sister, Princess Margaret Rose, engaged in a significant broadcast for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on the 13th of October, 1940. The sisters, dressed in simple yet elegant attire, are seen at the microphone, their expressions serious and focused. The image is taken from Dermot Morrah's book, "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive," published by Odhams Press Limited in 1947. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the royal siblings during a time when the British Empire was facing the challenges of World War II. The sisters' broadcast was aimed at the children of the empire, providing them with reassurance and a sense of connection during the tumultuous period. The image serves as a reminder of the role the monarchy played in uniting the British people during times of hardship and uncertainty. The photograph is a testament to the power of media and broadcasting in bringing people together, especially during times of crisis. The sisters' earnest expressions and their use of the microphone as a means of communication underscore the importance of connection and unity, making this image a significant historical artifact of the 20th century and the 1940s in particular. The photograph is also a poignant reminder of the sisters' youth and the responsibilities that awaited them in the years to come. Elizabeth would go on to become Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, while Margaret would become the Countess of Snowdon. The image captures a moment in time that would forever shape their lives and the history of the British Empire.
