Exclusive: See rare photos of Queen Elizabeth II from National Geographic's archives

From ancient ceremonies to American football games, these 20 rarely or never-before-published images from our photographers span the monarch's storied life.

By: Erin Blakemore

9 September 2022

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor sat on an ancient throne, her eyes downcast.

Moments before, the 27-year-old woman had been clad in white. Now she was Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth realms—shoulders wrapped in golden cloth, hands clasping jeweled scepters, and head heavy with a crown.

Cries of “God Save The Queen!” echoed throughout Westminster Abbey as silver trumpets blared.

At the June 1953 coronation, no one could have guessed Queen Elizabeth’s reign would last a record-breaking 70 years.

But the significance of the elaborate ceremony was not lost on veteran photographer James Jarché.

Using a Leica camera loaded with Kodachrome film, he documented every moment of the age-old ritual, then rushed the undeveloped images to the National Geographic Society’s Washington, D.C. headquarters via special air courier.

The results galvanized National Geographic editors, who dropped other coverage in their September 1953 issue to make room for the stunning color photos, alongside classic Nat Geo takes on everything from the bunting that filled a still war-scarred London to the British-bred silkworms responsible for the queen’s sumptuous regalia.

Letters poured in from around the world, begging for extra copies as keepsakes and gifts.

"It was the greatest color story of a lifetime,” photo editor Kip Ross told Jarché.

And National Geographic was there to capture every step of her lifetime.

Its world-class photographers documented the demure new queen, chronicled the official appearances of the self-possessed public figure, and offered rare glimpses of the private life Elizabeth guarded so carefully.

Fashions, borders, communication, public mores—all experienced seismic shifts during Elizabeth’s years as queen.

Here is Elizabeth II as National Geographic saw her: gracious, determined, curious, confident, and long-lived.

I cannot lead you into battle.

RIP to our Majesty Queen Elizabeth || - I never thought I would be upset over her death but knowing that she is gone has truly affected me. She was always there for us Brits and for everyone around the world. It doesn’t and won’t be the same without her here. Now may she rest in peace 😢🕊

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the Monarchy …it’s all about respect.

Today's blorbo is the death of Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor II, from real life!

If you have a fetish for being stepped on by old ladies (and you happen to be laying in front of the gates to hell right about now), you're an anti-monarchist, you're a nation that was minding it's own business until you were violently colonized by the very institution that Queen Elizabeth II has until-now been willfully representing and upholding for the past 70 years, you enjoy influxes of high quality memes, and/or you're just a generally respectable human being, then this is your newest blorbo too! :)

#SHES DEAD #Queen Elizabeth II #Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor II #Queen Elizabeth II Death #Death #Lol #Die you old colonialist bag #blorbo #events can be blorbos if you think about it #Hopefully the monarchy follows her lead and also dies #The queen is dead #Short live the king

100 followers gift!

First of all, I would like to thank you all for this amazing year! It's been a pleasure meeting you all and I'm beyond thankful for your support.

Spread among 13 occupied and historic royal residences in the United Kingdom, the collection is owned by King Charles III and overseen by the Royal Collection Trust. The British monarch owns some of the collection in right of the Crown and some as a private individual. It is made up of over one million objects, including 7,000 paintings, over 150,000 works on paper, this including 30,000 watercolours and drawings, and about 450,000 photographs, as well as around 700,000 works of art, including tapestries, furniture, ceramics, textiles, carriages, weapons, armour, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments, tableware, plants, manuscripts, books, and sculptures.

Some of the buildings which house the collection, such as Hampton Court Palace, are open to the public and not lived in by the Royal Family, whilst others, such as Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the most remarkable of them, Buckingham Palace are both residences and open to the public.

George’s second name Alexander could be from the Queen. Her name was Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.

That's a good point. I hadn't considered it before.

I've always felt that 'George' was some kind of tribute to The Queen, because of how fond of her father she was and how instrumental George VI was to the modern Windsor family.

But Alexander is an interesting parallel too.

Queen Elizabeth II has died

Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom’ s longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death on 8 September 2022.

Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the second longest recorded of any monarch of a sovereign country.

Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her father acceded to the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive.

She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In November 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, and their marriage lasted 73 years until his death in April 2021. They had four children together: Charles III; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth—then 25 years old—became queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon (known today as Sri Lanka), as well as Head of the Commonwealth. Elizabeth reigned as a constitutional monarch through major political changes such as the Troubles in Northern Ireland, devolution in the United Kingdom, the decolonization of Africa, and the United Kingdom's accession to the European Communities and withdrawal from the European Union.

The number of her realms varied over time as territories have gained independence and some realms have become republics. Her many historic visits and meetings include state visits to China in 1986, Russia in 1994, the Republic of Ireland in 2011, and visits to or from five popes.

Significant events include Elizabeth's coronation in 1953 and the celebrations of her Silver, Golden, Diamond, and Platinum Jubilees in 1977, 2002, 2012, and 2022, respectively.

Elizabeth was the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, the oldest and longest-serving incumbent head of state, and the second-longest verifiable reigning sovereign monarch in world history, only behind Louis XIV of France.

She faced occasional republican sentiment and media criticism of her family, particularly after the breakdowns of her children's marriages, her annus horribilis in 1992, and the death of her former daughter-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.

However, support for the monarchy in the United Kingdom remained consistently high, as did her personal popularity. Elizabeth died on 8 September 2022 at Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire.
