Intended for publication in newspapers of the period with text for a press realease accompanying the photograph printed in type on paper mounted to the the bottom of the photo from the verso. The text of the press release reads as follows:
"PRINCE CHARLES IS THREE / Britain's Royal grandson, Prince Charles, wears neat bow tie with his natty romper suit in this picture made for his third birthday which he observes, Nov. 14. Only one thing is missing -- his royal parents, the Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Elizabeth, could not return from their tour in time for the observance. This official portrait was made by Marcus Adams, a court photographer. / GFR 1P 11/14/51 LON 65". Very good .
