Did You Know?

This trip was meant to be the first part of a 30,000-mile journey across four continents. The royal couple had planned to go on to Australia and New Zealand, but King George VI died only five days after this farewell at the airport. The intended journey finally took place in 1954, after Princess Elizabeth had become Queen.
