These were great - and it was fun to see young Elizabeth ham it up! It kicked my image of "Liz is staid and Margaret is the diva" to the curb!

I have a dumb question which I guess can go here - it does say it is for pictures. Why does QE look blonde in her wedding photos? Is it a trick of the light or was she actually blonde at the time?
 
It's a good question. I wondered that myself but figured it was just the lighting. Anyone have a clue? I have to say this is a beautiful picture of her.

I don't even think she looks blonde in that picture.
 
I think that picture of the Queen posted by QueenMathilde has been modified. Not just the hair but the shading on the mouth.

Here is an example of the pictures released at the time.

I think that such a beautiful picture of the Queen, if genuine, would be well known and it isn't.

Those pictures make more sense. This one and several others like it are floating around pinterest so I was just wondering.
 
That is one of my favorites of HM and PP. Not to mention, the earrings are gorgeous. :flowers:
 
There doesn't appear to be a thread with photos of QEII, if so I've missed it.

Anyway, you may have seen this pic, but I think it's a pretty stylish picture of the commander-in-chief: https://app.box.com/s/daib9o3wlrehac6qpjlr
