"HRH Princess Elizabeth of York, 145, Piccadilly, W. 1"- May 1935 cover addressed in the hand of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. He sent his 9-yr-old niece some cut out stamps, but obviously they never made it to the Royal Collection. #OTD in 2022 #QueenElizabethII died.

With Paul's brilliant image of this dress, a small detail regarding it- Last week I visited KP, and the staff member standing near this dress told me that in all the paintings depicting the Privy council meeting, Queen Victoria has been depicted wearing white

HM Queen Victoria ascended the throne #OTD in 1837, upon the death of her Uncle, King William IV.

Later that day she addressed the Privy Council, wearing this dress.

Originally in Black (its faded to brown over the years)

The only reason being she was a new queen and she wouldn't stand out if she wore black, so for the aesthetic senses of the portrait, the Queen is painted in a white gown

@messiecondo @MonarchyUK Just the way portraits on coins are, successive monarchs face opposite sides.
You can notice king george v and King George vi facing the same way because Edward VIII is supposed to be in between 😅

@The_QVDS We can spot lady Gabriella at the right just behind the Duke of Kent
