EDITORS COMMENTS
In this beautiful photograph, the Christening of HRH Prince George, the eldest son of HRH Princess Mary, Princess Royal, and Lord Lascelles, takes place at St Mary's Church in the picturesque village of Goldsborough, near Knaresborough, and adjoining the family home, Goldsborough Hall. The Christening took place on the 25th of March 1923. The Princess Royal, who was the eldest and only unmarried daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, is seen holding her newborn son, George Henry Hubert Lascelles, in her arms. The proud parents are surrounded by their family members, including the future Viscount and Viscountess Lascelles, who are standing behind them, and the Queen Mother, who is seated in the front row, holding the Christening robe. The future 7th Earl of Harewood, who would later become a prominent figure in British society, is seen wearing a white christening gown, which was previously worn by his older sister, Princess Elizabeth, and his cousins, including the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II. The Christening was an important occasion for the royal family, and it marked the beginning of George's journey into the world of royalty and public life. The photograph captures the joy and happiness of the moment, as the family gathers to welcome the new addition to their ranks. The elegant and ornate interior of the church, with its high ceilings, stained glass windows, and intricate stonework, provides a fitting backdrop for this special occasion. The image is a testament to the enduring traditions and customs of the British monarchy and the importance of family and faith in their lives.
