It belonged to the King Ranch and was used to take guests pheasant hunting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If King George VI is still living then Elizabeth is not yet the Queen. She will not be Queen until the death of her father. In this picture, she would be Princess Elizabeth.

She was the Queen until he died and then became the Queen Mother. If that is his wife with him, then she is the Queen Consort, the wife of a reigning King. She has no reigning power. Only a Queen has reigning power. Big difference. Their older daughter, Elizabeth, became Queen upon the death of her father. Link to post Share on other sites
