1967 Cheetah Keeper Margaret Meet Meeting Meets Royals Zoological
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Royal Encounter at London Zoo: Princess Margaret Meets a Chetah and Its Keeper in 1967" In this photograph, Princess Margaret, a beloved member of the British Royal Family, is seen engaging in a unique and memorable encounter with a cheetah and its dedicated keeper at the London Zoological Park, also known as London Zoo, on the 16th of May, 1967. The Princess, dressed elegantly in a floral print dress and a matching hat, is shown standing in the lush gardens of the zoo, surrounded by vibrant foliage and colorful flowers. With a gentle expression on her face, she reaches out to touch the majestic cheetah, which is securely held by its keeper in a uniform, adding an air of professionalism to the scene. The London Zoo, a pioneering institution in the field of zoology and conservation, was a favorite destination for members of the British Royal Family. Princess Margaret's visit to the zoo in 1967 was an opportunity for her to not only enjoy the diverse range of animals but also to show her support for the important work being carried out by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), the organization responsible for the management and conservation of the zoo. This photograph, taken during the 1960s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the close relationship between the British monarchy and the zoological society, as well as the public's fascination with the royal family and the wonders of the natural world.
