The photographs were taken in 1948 on the occasion of Prince Charles's full moon, when Princess Elizabeth, later the Queen, gazed affectionately at Charles's first child at his bedside. The photographs were published in the main British press at the time, and the caption under the photograph reads: "The eyes of mothers, whether in high society or among ordinary people, look at their children the same." In the photo, the flower basket brooch worn by Elizabeth on her chest is a commemorative gift from her parents, George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
