EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, the future Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret Rose, are seen arriving at Olympia, London for the Royal Tournament in 1935. The young princesses, dressed in elegant coats and hats, are accompanied by their mother, Queen Elizabeth, later known as the Queen Mother. The image captures a moment of joy and excitement as the royal family makes their way to the tournament, an annual military spectacle that showcased the skills and horsemanship of the British military. The year was 1935, and the world was still a few years away from the upheaval of World War II. The image offers a glimpse into the childhood of the future monarch and her sister, their carefree and joyful moments amidst the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy. The Princesses, who would grow up to assume the throne and become queens in their own right, are seen here as innocent and playful children, their eyes filled with curiosity and wonder. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the elegance and sophistication of the royal family's public appearances. The Princesses are dressed in beautiful coats and hats, their mother, the Queen Mother, in a stylish suit and hat, all adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The image is further enhanced by the elegant cars that transport the royal family to the tournament, adding to the sense of tradition and pageantry that surrounded the British monarchy in the 1930s. This photograph is a historical treasure, capturing a moment in time that offers a glimpse into the lives of the royal family during a period of peace and prosperity before the challenges of the Second World War. It is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the British monarchy and the traditions that have shaped the country's history.
