EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a young Prince George, fifth in line to the British throne and later known as King George V, at the age of four years old during his family's summer retreat to Balmoral Castle in Scotland in 1869. Dressed in traditional Highland attire, the future monarch embodies the spirit of Scottish heritage and royal tradition. The young prince is seen wearing the full regalia of a Highlander, including a kilt made of tartan fabric, a sporran, a sgian-dubh (a small knife worn in the sock), and a Prince of Wales feather bonnet adorned with a black cock's feather. The intricate details of his outfit reflect the rich history and cultural significance of the Scottish Highlands. Prince George's family, the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, had strong connections to Scotland, with his father, Prince Albert Edward, being the Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay in Scotland. Balmoral Castle, located in the Scottish Highlands, was a cherished retreat for the royal family, where they could enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the region and connect with their Scottish heritage. This image offers a glimpse into the childhood of a future king, showcasing the young prince's connection to his Scottish roots and the rich cultural traditions of the United Kingdom. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the British monarchy and the deep-rooted ties between Scotland and the royal family.
