PRINCESS ELIZABETH

MUCH PHOTOGRAPHED LADY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS INCREASE One of the most photographed members of the Royal Family at the moment is Princess Elizabeth, who is attending different functions in London each day. The Princess has rapidly become accustomed to appearing and speaking in public, and there have been many charming photographs of her in the daily newspapers. .This week the Princess presided at the annual meeting of the National Society for the Prevention' of Cruelty to Children, of which she is president, and also accompanied the King and Queen and Princess Margaret on an informal visit to the Overseas League. There she talked with representatives of the Victory Parade contingents, including the New Zealanders. The Princess often wears pale blue, which suits her admirably, and she favours the latest style of flowered 'hats. She is frequently seen at dances in the evenings, many of which are private. The most recent evening function she attended was the annual dinner dance of the iNavy League Sea Cadets Corps. Shq wore a long dress of black net with a string of pearls. She was accompanied by Lord Burghersh, Captain Humphreys, WingCommander, Peter Townsend, and Mr Bonham-Carter. In a different room of the same hotel the King was dining out privately for the first time since the end of the war.

Lord Burghersh, who is the eldest son of the Earl of Westmorland, served in the war as a lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards. He is 22 years of age.
