Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret, performing her first public function unaccompanied

Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret, performing her first public function unaccompanied by other members of the Royal family, today, successfully launched the 28, 500 t union Castle liner " Edinburgh Castle" at Belfast. It was a perfect launching ceremony, and when the 17-year-old princess pressed a lever on a platform in Harland and Wolffs shipyard, and swung a bottle of South African wine against the stem of the ship, the liner slid down the slipways into the waters of Belfast Lough. When completed, the Edinburgh Castle will take up service on the South African run.
