EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret are seen playfully peeking out of the windows of y Bwthyn bach to Gwellt, a charming toy cottage given to Princess Elizabeth as a gift on the occasion of her sixth birthday by the generous people of Wales in 1933. The sisters' youthful innocence and joy are captured perfectly as they engage in a whimsical moment, dressed in their Sunday best, with the sun casting a warm glow over the quaint cottage. The Welsh Cottage, or "little house in the meadow," was a thoughtful and heartfelt present from the Welsh people to the young princess, symbolizing the deep connection between the royal family and the Welsh people. The cottage, which was made of wood and modeled after a traditional Welsh farmhouse, was complete with miniature furniture and decorations, allowing Elizabeth and Margaret to play out their dreams of domesticity and adventure in their very own Welsh home. This delightful image offers a glimpse into the princesses' idyllic childhood, a time filled with love, laughter, and the simple pleasures of life. As the future monarch and her beloved younger sister, Elizabeth and Margaret shared a special bond that would last a lifetime, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their happy childhood memories. The cottage, which was originally located in the gardens of Royal Lodge, Windsor, was later moved to the grounds of Sandringham House in Norfolk, where it remains a cherished part of the royal collection. This charming photograph, taken in the early years of Elizabeth's reign, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the princesses' childhood and the love and kindness shown to them by the people of Wales.
