EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the life of Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) as she receives the honorary degree of Bachelor of Music from the London University on 10 July 1946. The Chancellor of the University, Major General the Earl of Athlone, proudly admits his great-niece to the degree, marking a significant milestone in her academic journey. The Earl, who is seen wearing the full regalia of his title, is dressed in a formal suit with decorations on his chest, while Princess Elizabeth dons a simple yet elegant dress with a matching hat. The photograph, taken during the 1940s, reflects the formal and ceremonial atmosphere of the occasion. Dermot Morrah, the author of 'Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive', documented this moment in history, providing a glimpse into the Princess's early life and her commitment to education. The image is a testament to the fashion trends of the time, with both the Princess and the Earl adhering to the dress code of the era.
