Devastating Beauty XIV : "Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor"

.


Questions about Beauty and what defines it are endless- We know Beauty is defined as differently as individuals are.

Beauty is Strength.

Regardless of the frocks and finery worn by a Queen Elizabeth II- it is perhaps this uniform that the young Princess Elizabeth wore during World War II that she seems most Beautiful in-

In 1945 the Princess convinced her father to let Her contribute directly to the war effort. Elizabeth was a memeber of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (the ATS), No 230873 Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor, and was trained as a driver.
