EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Freddie Reed, we are transported back to the 1960s when Princess Alexandra of Kent paid a visit to the Kwetu Social Centre for East African Nurses at St. James's in London. The image portrays a poignant moment as three-year-old Margaret Magoba, daughter of the Uganda Welfare Officer, is overcome with emotion and bursts into tears when asked to present a bouquet to the esteemed Princess. The photograph beautifully encapsulates both the innocence of childhood and the overwhelming presence of royalty. As Margaret stands before Princess Alexandra, her tear-streaked face reflects a mixture of awe, shyness, and perhaps even stage fright. It serves as a reminder that even in grand events such as royal visits, emotions can sometimes get the better of us. This snapshot not only captures an intimate interaction between two individuals from vastly different backgrounds but also highlights the significance of nursing care within East African communities during that era. It symbolizes how healthcare professionals were valued and recognized by members of high society like Princess Alexandra. Freddie Reed's skillful composition immortalizes this tender moment forever on paper, allowing us to glimpse into history and appreciate both its emotional depth and cultural importance. This print serves as a testament to our shared human experiences across time while reminding us that even princesses can evoke tears in young children through their regal presence alone.
