EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, later known as the Queen Mother, in a rare and intimate moment during a special sitting for The Illustrated London News (ILN) in 1942. The occasion marked the ILN's hundredth birthday, and the royal couple granted an exclusive photographic session to commemorate the milestone. During World War II, the monarchy served as a symbol of unity and resilience for the British people. King George VI, who had unexpectedly ascended to the throne in 1936 following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, proved to be a popular and dedicated monarch. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Consort, was known for her grace and support throughout her husband's reign. The colorful portrait, which is part of a series of photographs taken during this session, showcases the royal couple's regal charm and the deep connection they shared. The image offers a unique glimpse into their personalities and the historical context of the time, providing an intriguing insight into the lives of the British monarchs during the Second World War. The ILN's centenary photographic series was a significant event in the history of journalism and royal photography, offering the public a rare opportunity to see the royal family in an authentic and personal light. This evocative image of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth remains a cherished piece of historical documentation and a testament to the enduring allure of the British monarchy.
