EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (right), and her young daughter, Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II (left)), engage in an animated conversation with Mrs. R.L. Tree, Joint-Master of the Pytchley Hunt, at Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire, England, during a hunt meet in 1931. The future monarch, dressed in a stylish riding habit and holding a hunting crop, displays an infectious enthusiasm for the traditional English sport of fox hunting. The Duchess of York, an accomplished hunter herself, passes on her love for the pursuit to her daughter, who would later become the longest-reigning monarch in British history. The Pytchley Hunt, one of the oldest in the country, is renowned for its beautiful countryside and well-bred foxhounds. The image captures a moment of joy and connection between mother and daughter, as they share their passion for the thrill of the chase and the camaraderie of the hunt." "The photograph offers a glimpse into the life of the royal family beyond their formal public engagements, revealing their love for the great outdoors and the rich traditions of rural England. The Duchess of York and Princess Elizabeth's shared enthusiasm for hunting would continue to be a significant part of their lives, reflecting the enduring appeal of this ancient sport and the strong bond between mother and daughter.
