EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, members of the British royal family are seen enjoying a Leicestershire hunting event in the early 1930s. At the heart of the scene, the future Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (later Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother), gracefully walks in the center, dressed in a stylish cloche hat and a fur-trimmed coat. On her right, holding the hand of the young Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II), is her devoted nurse and nanny, Clara Cooper Knight. Clara Cooper Knight, born in 1879, had been a constant presence in the royal household since Princess Elizabeth's birth in 1900. Her caring nature and unwavering dedication to the young princess made her an indispensable figure in the royal family. In this image, she is seen carrying the toddler princess, who is dressed in a frilly white dress and a matching hat, as they watch the hunting event from the comfort of a chair. The atmosphere of the event is lively and festive, with other members of the royal family, including the Duke of York (later King George VI) and his brother, the Duke of Windsor (later Edward VIII), mingling in the background. The image captures a moment of joy and warmth, as the future monarchs spend a day out with their loved ones, surrounded by the beautiful Leicestershire countryside. This photograph is a testament to the close bond between the royal family and their trusted servants, and the enduring traditions that have shaped the British monarchy for generations. The elegance and charm of this image make it a timeless treasure, offering a glimpse into the lives of the royals during the 1930s.
