EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a young Princess Elizabeth and her sister, Princess Margaret, delivering their first radio broadcast on the 13th of October 1940. Amidst the backdrop of the Second World War, the sisters spoke words of hope and reassurance to the British people. With a determined expression and a microphone in hand, Princess Elizabeth began, "We know, and realise, that you may be feeling and suffering in many ways that are unknown to us. But we are sure that you understand that what is being done is in our collective interest." Her sister, Princess Margaret, stood steadfastly by her side, offering support and solidarity. The sisters' message was simple yet powerful: "We are at the present time, in the same boat, and all of us will be in it, for the duration. The same destiny, the same danger, the same sacrifice." Despite the uncertainty and hardships of the war, the sisters' unwavering faith in the resilience of the British people shone through. Their words, "We know that in the end all will be well," offered a glimmer of hope in the darkest of times. This poignant moment in history stands as a testament to the strength and unity of the British monarchy during the Second World War.
