A support or underprop



We all love the family photo album, even royalty, & a particular gem forms part of an exhibition at Windsor Castle to mark the Diamond Jubilee. It shows Her Majesty, aged 2, in the company of her grandfather’s parrot.

I hope it is not lese-majesty to say that my eyes fixed on the legs of the little princess, which look to me to be far shorter, from knee to ankle, than we would expect to see on a two-year old today.

Which makes me think that some useful historical data on this topic could be gleaned from photographic analysis of a very large sample of toddlers.
