EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing five of the children of King George V of Britain, gathered together in their traditional Scottish attire at the Royal residence of Balmoral in Scotland. From left to right, we see Prince George, the second eldest son and future King Edward VIII until his abdication in 1936; Prince Albert, Duke of York, who later ascended to the throne as King George VI in 1936; Princess Mary, the youngest daughter and future Queen Consort of George V; Prince Edward, Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VIII and then the Duke of Windsor; and Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the youngest son of King George V. The photograph, believed to have been taken around 1906, showcases the children in their traditional Scottish outfits. Prince Albert and Prince Edward are both wearing kilts, a symbol of Scottish heritage, and sporrans, a pouch worn suspended from a belt, which holds the wearer's tartan sash. Princess Mary is dressed in a long, flowing tartan dress, while Prince George and Prince Henry are wearing kilts and blouses. Balmoral Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, has been a beloved retreat for the British Royal Family since the late 19th century. The children likely spent many happy summers there, enjoying the picturesque scenery and engaging in various outdoor activities. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their childhood and the rich history of the British monarchy. The image offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of these future monarchs and their connection to their Scottish heritage. The traditional costumes, the serene expression on their faces, and the warm, inviting atmosphere of Balmoral all contribute to the timeless charm of this photograph.
