It Was A Huge Celebration
“I remember the thrill and relief,” Her Royal Highness went on. However, the exhilaration did not end there for the young princess. Queen Elizabeth II added, “And then, when the excitement of the floodlights being switched on got through to us, my sister and I realized we couldn’t see what the crowds were enjoying… so we asked my parents if we could go out and see for ourselves.”
Their Parents Did Not Mind It
It might be surprising to hear that the young princesses wanted to venture out on their own, but it is even more shocking to hear what their parents had to say. The King and the Queen consort agreed to it! They said, “Let the darlings have some fun.” At least, this was what historian Kate Williams was quoted as saying in a documentary by Channel 4 called The Queen’s Big Night Out.
