Palace releases rare and invisible photos of Queen Elizabeth

The royal family shared photos never seen by Queen Elizabeth with her parents and sister Princess Margaret to mark the 80th anniversary of the VJ day.

The Royal Collection Trust, in a joint article with the palace, shared the photos on Instagram.

The photos were published with a legend: “a moment of national celebration”.

He said: “That day, 80 years ago, large crowds gathered in front of the Buckingham Palace for the victory over the Japanese celebrations (VJ), marking the end of the Second World War.”

He also said: “From the balcony, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, alongside their daughters, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, agitated to the jubilant public.

“King George VI recorded in his newspaper that they” went out on the balcony 6 times in the afternoon and in the evening “, big crowds having gone in front of the Buckingham Palace at 10 am.”

On August 19, 1945, a Thanksgiving service took place at St Paul cathedral, which attended by the royal family.

Meanwhile, King Charles also delivered an audio message to mark the historic occasion.

He said: “For the millions of families gathered around their wireless sets, and for their loved ones who still serve far from their home, it was the message that a wired world of battle had long prayed -” war is over “.”
