EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait of Princess Elizabeth, taken in February 1946, graced the front cover of The Illustrated London News on the 23rd of that month. At the tender age of 20, the young princess was beginning to capture the hearts of the British people and the world, as she prepared to assume the role of monarch following her father's death later that year. The image, which appears on Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a confident and poised Elizabeth, dressed in a simple yet elegant white blouse and dark skirt, with a regal air that belied her youth. The photograph was taken just months after the end of World War II, and the nation looked to the future with hope and anticipation, eager to see how the new queen would lead them through the challenges and uncertainties that lay ahead. With her grace, dignity, and unwavering commitment to duty, Princess Elizabeth would go on to become one of the most beloved and respected monarchs in British history.
