EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a rare moment of sisterly bonding between Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret during a special Illustrated London News (ILN) centenary sitting in 1942. The sisters, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, respectively, are pictured in a warm and intimate setting, their youthful faces reflecting the resilience and strength of the British monarchy amidst the challenges of World War II. The ILN, a renowned British publication, was granted an exclusive photographic session with the royal family to mark its centenary at that time. The sisters, dressed in elegant yet simple outfits, sit side by side on a plush sofa, their gazes fixed on the camera lens. Princess Elizabeth, the elder sister, wears a demure floral dress and a small hat, while Princess Margaret, with her striking features and confident demeanor, dons a smart navy blue suit and a pearl choker. Despite the trying times of the 1940s, the sisters' connection shines through in this beautiful portrait. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unwavering strength and unity of the royal family during the tumultuous period of World War II. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between the two sisters, who would go on to play significant roles in the monarchy and the history of the United Kingdom.
