EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures a young and radiant Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon (nee Princess Margaret Rose) on the momentous occasion of her sister Princess Elizabeth's engagement announcement to Philip Mountbatten on July 9th, 1947. The image was taken inside the grand halls of Buckingham Palace in London, where the Royal Family gathered to celebrate the joyous news. At just seventeen years old, Princess Margaret, the younger sister of the future Queen, is seen wearing a simple yet elegant dress and a demure expression, reflecting the decorum and grace expected of a member of the British Royal Family. Her sister, Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, is seen in the background, beaming with happiness as she announces her engagement to Prince Philip. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private moments of the Royal Family during a time of great change and excitement. It is a poignant reminder of the close relationship between the sisters and the sense of duty and tradition that guided their lives. The image has been preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online and remains a cherished piece of Royal history.
