Photograph of an informal group portrait of, from left to right, Princess Elizabeth, Jan Smuts, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. Smuts stands facing the camera and holds a camera in his right hand. The royal family members turn to look at Smuts. There is a mountain range in the background. The photograph was taken at Drakensberg National Park, Natal, now KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
In honour of the visit to the park by the royal guests, the park was re-named as the Royal Natal National Park which now forms part of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site. During their stay, King George and his family were hosted by Mr and Mrs Hosken. -
