EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from the 1930s, the Duchess of York, later known as the Queen Mother, is seen arriving at the Royal Tournament at Olympia, London, with her two young daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. The Duchess, dressed elegantly in a long coat and hat, holds the hand of her eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, who wears a pretty floral dress and a bow in her hair. The second daughter, Princess Margaret, follows closely behind, wearing a matching coat and hat. The year is 1935, and the Royal Tournament was an annual military spectacle that showcased the skills and pageantry of the British armed forces. The Duchess and her daughters were making a public appearance, adding a touch of royal glamour to the event. The family's arrival at Olympia was an important moment, as it marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the young princesses, who would one day ascend to the throne. The image captures the sense of excitement and anticipation that surrounded the royal family at the time. The Duchess and her daughters are stepping out of their car on the pavement, with the crowds of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the royals. The Duchess's smile and the girls' innocent expressions convey a sense of joy and happiness, making this photograph a cherished moment in royal history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British monarchy and the fascination it holds for people around the world. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the future queen and her family during a time of change and uncertainty, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition that the royal family represents.
