queenIn order to celebrate the Queen’s 84th birthday photos from her developing years have been released.  The images show Princess Elizabeth at age seven months posing for Marcus Adams in 1926.

A selection of the prints can be viewed from this Saturday on through February of 2011 at Windsor Castle.  The Queen will be in the castle for her birthday and to the Troop Royal Horse Artillery who will offer a 41 gun salute in her honour in London.

The photographs show the Queen in a white dress barefoot and in separate frames with her parents the then Duke and Duchess of York and later George VI and now Queen Elizabeth on December 2nd of 1926.

The Queen Mother considered two of the photos that will be in the exhibit to be her prize possessions and until now were kept safely in a leather picture case.  One of them shows her looking straight into the camera while in the other photo she is in the arms of her mother.

Another set of photos from January 1927 will also be on display, in which she was caught playing with Victorian glasses and holding photos of her parents in another one.

A note written by the young princess’s nurse who took care of the Queen while her parents were away on a tour will also be on display at the exhibition.  The letter sits beside a photo of the young Queen with a large smile on her face laughing.
