Queen Elizabeth II as a baby
Long Live the Queen!
Happy 84th Birthday, Ma’am!
Previously unpublished pictures of the Queen as a baby have been released to coincide with her 84th birthday today. The photographs form part of an exhibition of the work of the photographer Marcus Adams.
The 56 images on display include pictures of the then Princess Elizabeth which were taken to be sent to her mother and father, the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, while they were on a six-month tour of Australia and New Zealand. Among the collection is a poignant letter from the Princess’s nanny, Clara Knight, which reflects how many landmarks of their young daughter’s life the then Duke and Duchess of York missed while they were on the tour.
