In this striking photograph, taken in 1946, King George VI of the United Kingdom is seen in the Quadrangle of Buckingham Palace with his two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. The royal family is welcoming Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, who stands behind the King, during her recent visit to London. The occasion for Queen Wilhelmina's visit was a joyous one, as she presented King George VI with a generous gift from the Dutch Government. Thirty-six fine horses were handed over to the British monarch, a gesture of goodwill and friendship between the two nations. The image captures the warmth and camaraderie between the monarchs, as they engage in conversation while their daughters look on. Queen Mary, the King's mother, is also present, adding to the sense of family and tradition. The setting, the Quadrangle of Buckingham Palace, is a fitting backdrop for this royal encounter.
