| Princess Elizabeth by Cecil Beaton, 1945 (From V&A Museum) |
This must be my favorite portrait of Her Majesty the Queen. It was taken in 1945, when she was still Princess Elizabeth. She is truly the quintessential princess. I just love the whole effect of this photo: her dress, the flowers, her pose... There is something romantic, magical, and serene about it. Cecil Beaton has perfectly captured the youthful beauty and charm of the Princess, as well as her sweet smile.

Yes, she was really lovely as a young woman. The lighting in this portrait is fantastic.
