Summary

[edit]
Description

The Duke and Duchess of York were crowned as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on May 12 1937. Queen Elizabeth later used the title, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, to avoid confusion with her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. After King George VI's death in 1952, the Queen Mother maintained a popular public profile. This image of the Queen Mother and New Zealand Prime Minister Walter Nash in Petone, Lower Hutt, is from a Royal Tour of New Zealand in 1958.

Walter Nash was Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1957 to 1960. After defeat in the 1960 election Nash remained MP for Hutt until his death in 1968. This image is from the Walter Nash Papers. [1] Other images from the Nash papers have been digitised and are available to view in an online exhibition archives.govt.nz/events/walters-world-nash-collection Other notable items in the collection include images of Nash and Indian Prime Minister Nehru and Nash meeting Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies. These items can be seen in person in the Wellington Reading Room of Archives New Zealand.
