EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of photographs from the Illustrated London News Coronation Number offers a rare glimpse into the wartime years of Queen Elizabeth II's life. In the top left image, a young Princess Elizabeth poses confidently with a thoroughbred Norwegian dun pony in the paddock at Windsor Castle during 1944. The tranquility of the moment is a stark contrast to the turmoil of World War II, which raged on around her. Top right, we see the future monarch sharing a lighter moment with her sister, Princess Margaret, during a private driving class at the Royal Windsor Show in 1945. Their joyful expressions speak volumes about their resilience and determination to carry on amidst the challenges of war. In the bottom right photograph, Princess Elizabeth can be seen learning engine maintenance in the ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service) in 1945. This poignant image showcases her dedication to serving her country during this critical period. Lastly, in the bottom left photograph, we find the Princess celebrating her eighteenth birthday on April 21st, 1944, with her beloved grandmother, Queen Mary. This heartwarming moment serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between the generations of the British monarchy. These evocative images offer a unique insight into the life of Queen Elizabeth II during the 1940s, a time of war, change, and growth for both the young princess and the world.
