EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II engages in a friendly conversation with President Dr. Rajendra Prasad of India during a polo match in New Delhi, India, in 1961. The image captures a moment of camaraderie between the two leaders during Queen Elizabeth II's royal tour of India, which took place from November 1961 to February 1962. As the monarch of the United Kingdom and the head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II's visit to India was an important symbol of the close relationship between the two countries. The royal tour marked the first time that an English monarch had visited India since the country gained its independence from British rule in 1947. The polo match, held at the Delhi Polo Club, provided an opportunity for Queen Elizabeth II and President Prasad to engage in a relaxed and informal setting. Both leaders are seen dressed in their respective traditional attire, with the Queen wearing a bright sari and President Prasad in a dhoti and kurta. The image conveys a sense of mutual respect and admiration between the two leaders, as they share a moment of connection amidst the lively atmosphere of the polo match. The photograph is a testament to the enduring bond between the United Kingdom and India, as well as the diplomatic prowess of Queen Elizabeth II in fostering relationships with world leaders during her reign. The image is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in the history of the Commonwealth and the relationship between India and the United Kingdom.
