In this file photo taken on this day, January 29, 1950, Princess Elizabeth, heir to the British throne, inspects a guard of honor after arriving at the Guide's headquarters on Buckingham Palace Road in London.

The princess is dressed in a dark coat, and on her head is a cloche hat, decorated with a double feather - plumage (an ornament in the form of a feather tuft on a fan-like feather headdress).

A flower brooch is pinned on her chest, a pearl necklace of three strands is on her neck, and there are no earrings in her ears, although it is known that Elizabeth loved pearl jewelry all her life.

It will be recalled that we previously reported that Elizabeth II pierced her ears in the year of her wedding to Prince Philip.

All because her parents - King George VI and Queen Elizabeth gave her a beautiful gift - Cartier Greville Chandelier earrings, in order to wear them, the princess had to pierce her ears.
