A young Queen, her consort, the Duke of Edinburgh and
children, Prince Charles and Princess Ann, are seen here in an
informal setting as the Empire’s epitome of family life. This 1953
photo appeared on the cover of The Diving Girl, the company
newsletter of Jantzen (Australia)
Ltd., in New South Wales.
In 1958, inspired by Queen Elizabeth’s visit to the United States, Jantzen produced a line of swimsuits called “London Town”. Flocked pin stripe knits and chalk stripe Helanca saluted
the art of fine English tailoring and transformed the town
suits of Savile Row into tailored swimwear silhouettes with
smoky, pearl buttons and names like “the Diplomat” and “Fleet
Street”.
Britain's
national anthem says it perfectly, "God Save the Queen".
