“… she is too wicked for words & most amusing.” - The Duchess of York about her daughter Margaret in a letter dated 30 April 1932.

Princess Margaret is sitting atop of Peggy, the Shetland pony, while Princess Elizabeth holds the reins. Peggy was given to Elizabeth as a gift for her fourth birthday from her grandfather, King George V. Photographed c. 1933-4. © The Royal Collection.

The 1928 sitting had resulted in a number of successful portraits. Indeed, it is said that the Princess and her parents were so delighted with the pictures that they later asked Adams if he would photograph Princess Margaret in a similar attitude and dress when she reached the same age.
