EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures a moment of pure joy and excitement as His Royal Highness The Duke and Duchess of York, later known as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, prepare to embark on a thrilling ride at the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley, London, during the summer of 1925. The Duke, wearing a smart suit and hat, and the Duchess, elegantly dressed in a flapper-style dress and feather headpiece, are all smiles as they ready themselves for the dizzying experience in an aerial boat, shaped like an amusing chicken form. The exhibition, held from April to October 1925, showcased the achievements and diversity of the British Empire, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. This fun and lighthearted image offers a glimpse into the playful side of the future monarchs, providing a charming contrast to their future reigns and the solemn responsibilities that lay ahead.
