In this photo print, Princess Alice Countess of Athlone is seen opening an exhibition of Royal and Historic Treasures at number 145, Piccadilly in London. The former home of the King and Queen has been transformed into a haven for priceless artifacts, all in aid of the building fund for the Heritage Craft Schools at Chailey, Sussex. As the originator and president of this remarkable exhibition, Princess Alice stands as a beacon of philanthropy and cultural preservation. The photograph captures a significant moment as Princess Alice warmly shakes hands with ex-Queen Ena of Spain, who was among the first visitors to grace this extraordinary display. Their meeting symbolizes the unity between European royalty during these tumultuous times between wars.
