File:Elizabeth II & Philip after coronation (Elizabeth II sitting).webp

File:Elizabeth II & Philip after coronation (Elizabeth II sitting).webp has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that. The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: Not a government work, not appears in the Royal Collection with a clearly claim that this specific photograph was commissioned by the Royal Family (which would made it eligible to be PD-UK-Gov), but instead, a copy of the same photo appears in the National Portrait Gallery with a copyright notice to V&A Images, the Victoria & Albert Museum). Also there is no evidence in the original source that corroborates that this specific photo is PD-UK-Gov. Unless evidence is provided, this file may be considered a copyvio and deleted according with the precautionary principle. However, this file could be undeleted in 2051, when 70 years from Beaton's death had been passed. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

The image is clearly an official portrait, with the National Portait Gallery page describing it as a "coronation sitting". Beaton was an official photographer for the coronation, as noted here. Therefore, it was commissioned by the royal family (i.e. the Crown), so the copyright belonged to them. As per COM:CROWN, Crown copyright photopgraphs created prior to 1957 became public domain after 50 years, which was in 2003 for this image. The Canadian Government identifies an almost identical image as copyright expired. Please see this discussion on a similar portrait by the same photographer.
