Photograph of Princess Margaret, seated three-quarters left with her head turned to face the viewer. She wears a sleeveless dress and a necklace. On 11 December, following the abdication of King Edward VIII, the Duke of York was proclaimed Sovereign, as King George VI. Realising that there would be a demand for photographs of the new Royal Family, not just at home but worldwide, a sitting was booked with Adams for four days after the accession.
