1953 27th Birthday Diadem Diamond Neck Lace Occasion Official Tatler Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II graced the cover of Tatler magazine on the occasion of her 27th birthday in 1953. The young monarch posed confidently for the camera, wearing a historic diadem originally reset for Queen Victoria and a Russian fringe-style diamond necklace. The portrait captures the essence of the Queen's regal beauty and her growing confidence in her role as monarch. The diadem, known as the "George IV State Diadem," was first made for King George IV in 1820 and features a central cross pattée, flanked by four large pear-shaped diamonds and four smaller diamonds. The necklace, a gift from the Soviet Union in 1942, is adorned with 1,425 diamonds and 162 pearls. This portrait is a significant historical document, capturing the Queen at a pivotal moment in her reign. Elizabeth II had only ascended to the throne the previous year following the death of her father, King George VI. The portrait reflects the optimism and excitement of the post-war era, as the young Queen began to establish her own identity and assert her authority. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the enduring allure and fascination of the British monarchy. It is a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the role of the monarch, and the continuing relevance of the institution in modern times.
