King George V and Queen Mary's Grand Tour of Industrial England: A Journey Through Wales and Yorkshire in 1912 In the summer of 1912, King George V and Queen Mary embarked on a tour of industrial England, aiming to connect with the working classes and show their support for the coal mining industry. The royal couple's itinerary included visits to South Wales in June and Yorkshire in July. This photograph captures a memorable moment from their visit to Yorkshire, where they were welcomed at Wentworth Woodhouse, the magnificent home of the Earl and Countess of Fitzwilliam, near Doncaster. The grand estate served as the royal party's base during their stay in the region. King George V, dressed in a formal morning suit, and Queen Mary, wearing an elegant dress adorned with pearls, are seen stepping out of a carriage, greeted by local dignitaries and residents. The warmth and excitement of the crowd are palpable, as they eagerly await the opportunity to catch a glimpse of their monarchs. The visit to Yorkshire followed a similar tour in South Wales, where the royals inspected coal mines and met with miners and their families. The tours were an essential part of the King's efforts to demonstrate his commitment to the welfare of the working class and to foster goodwill between the monarchy and the people. This photograph, taken during the Yorkshire leg of their tour, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the monarchy and the connection they forged with the people during this historic visit. The map accompanying the feature in The Sphere illustrates the route taken by the King and Queen during their journey through England, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
