Diamond Jubilee: The Stamp of Queen Elizabeth's Influence

Addressing the Nation
Princess Elizabeth (right) reads a broadcast in 1940 with her sister Princess Margaret at her side. The future Queen was making her first royal address to Britain and the Commonwealth during the BBC's Children's Hour. She sent her best wishes to all the children who had been sent overseas to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. for safety during the war.
