LONDON – Buckingham Palace has released black-and-white images of Queen Elizabeth II as a young girl amid celebrations marking her 90th birthday.
The first image shows a young Princess Elizabeth frolicking with her father, George VI, near a swimming pool — her arms outstretched, ready to dive in. The second shows her gently gazing at a bird perched on her arm.
The release is part of a four-day pageant this weekend that will salute her long reign. The extravaganza coincides with the Royal Windsor Horse Show, on part of the estate that includes Windsor Castle.
