EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a significant moment in history as Princess Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth II) presents prizes at Burlington School in West London on 7 November 1946. The young student in the foreground is proudly receiving her intermediate certificate from the Royal Life Saving Society, with a beaming smile on her face. Princess Elizabeth, dressed elegantly in a long, full skirt and a fitted blouse, is seen in profile as she extends her hand to bestow the award. The students around her are dressed in smart school uniforms, with some wearing knee-length plaid skirts and others donning blazers and ties. The girls in the photograph are wearing various types of shoes, including ankle-length boots with heels and wedges. The image, taken during the 1940s, captures the essence of the era's fashion and the excitement of the award ceremony. Dermot Morrah, a renowned journalist and author, documented this event in his book, "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive," published by Odhams Press Limited in 1947. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of education and achievement, as well as the historical significance of Princess Elizabeth's role as the future monarch of Britain.
