The Princesses performed roles in various pantomimes over four Christmases in their teenage years; the present image shows the future Queen Elizabeth II in costume for the lead role in Aladdin and her sister, Princess Margaret, in costume as Princess Roxana. The pantomime was performed in the Waterloo Chamber of Windsor Castle on 16th, 17th & 18th December 1943.
