In an archival photograph taken on this day 46 years ago, the smiling Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain is depicted meeting with actors at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London.

Her Majesty is dressed in a white dress with a deep round neckline embroidered with stones. She has a luxurious expensive necklace around her neck, earrings with stones in her ears, and a tiara on her head. The hair is styled with beautiful curls – this is the hairstyle worn by the monarch for many years.
