Two Sides of a Queen
Shaking hands, greeting people, making speeches . . . sooner or later even a queen will lose that happy smile. For the Queen and Princess Anne it was early in the tour when the camera caught them looking strained. By the time they had reached Tonga—after a quick tour of Fiji—it was all smiles again. At right, the Queen and Princess Anne watch the Trooping of the Colour at Albert Park, Suva, by the 2nd Battalion, Fiji Infantry Regiment. The strain is there. . . .
Above, the strain is gone in Tonga, as the Queen laughs at a remark from King Taufa'ahau, who is a witty conversationalist with a great sense of humour. Last time Queen Elizabeth visited Tonga, Taufa'ahau's mother. Queen Salote, was on the throne.
