This was so wonderful to listen to! I love her sweet voice, the old crackly sound of the radio broadcast, and their lovely accents!

She did sound so sweet and young, but her words were wise and quite mature!

Blessings & Aloha!

Thank you for bringing this important piece of history to us, Marie. There was quite a bit of queenly poise and confidence peeking through - even at this young age.

Marie, thank you so much for sharing this. I had no idea such recordings had been made available. What I know of the young Princess Elizabeth, this wasn't a pre-written speech she was merely reading. She genuinely did care what was happening to her future subjects during the war, and even managed to go out among the masses as a "regular" person to find out how they really lived. I hope the Queen Elizabeth lives to be 110!

Charming and moving.
Our king Louis-Philippe had a head in pear form, that 's completely right. Furniture made now are not in pear wood but cherry wood. Happily our King had not his head in cherry form... I do not know if my english is so good that the one of the Princess Elizabeth.

This is very cool. I remember walking out to see the Queen at the end of our street when she was first crowned and visited Canada. Anne we use to see Princess Margret quite frequently at the Royal Winter Fair, here in Toronto. You have such cool subjects.

Charming bit of history. What an adorable voice the young Elizabeth has...and such compassion. Thanks for sharing this, Marie.

PS...I placed a vintage postcard from Puerto Rico on my blog...thanks for the inspiration!

Oooh, la jeune reine. I haven't listened to the speech yet, but I did listen once to a speech given by Her Majesty when she was only a bit older, and then to one given by her when she was much older. The point was that the Queen's English (not just hers, but the British English language) has changed quite a bit. I bet if you Youtube it, you may find it. And there's a new verb: youtube!
