President Elizabeth

The first official request ever made by the King of England in connection with a news picture was issued last week from Windsor Castle, attached by picture agencies to the backs of negatives showing His Majesty posing with the heir apparent

Princess Elizabeth, on her twelfth birthday (April 21), and Princess Margaret Rose.

Text: It is the special request of the King that Princess Margaret Rose shall not be cut out of any of these pictures.

A cold in the head had cut out Queen Elizabeth, who remained indoors while the picture was taken, and apparently cautious King George did not want any possible inference to be drawn from what might be so cut and printed as to seem to be a picture of His Majesty posing alone with Princess Elizabeth. Her Royal Highness was permitted to assume, in token that she has "somewhat grown up" at twelve years, her first appointment: president of the new Children's League of the Princess Elizabeth of York Hospital for Children in Shadwell, a grimy London slum. The little princesses were seen last week in new spring costumes of delicate powder blue, and Queen Mary appeared with every article of her attire, even stockings, in exactly the same color.
