This one, I think pre-dates the other Windsor Castle book. That other seems to have been written when Elizabeth was already Queen—so, after 1953. This one makes no mention of the monarch at the time of writing, however, the ads in the back seem to be for books referring to Princess Elizabeth and her family. One of them refers to the infant Princess Anne. My guess is that the book was printed around 1951.
