Ball Gerald Honourable Lascelles Shiny Toddler Viscount
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting black-and-white photograph, we witness a precious moment in the early life of Hon. Gerald David Lascelles, the younger son of HRH Princess Mary, the Princess Royal, and Viscount Lascelles. The image, taken circa 1926, captures Gerald as a toddler, beaming with joy as he holds a shiny, newly-polished ball. The Princess Royal, the only daughter of King George V of the United Kingdom and Queen Mary, is seen in the background, her loving gaze fixed on her young son. Gerald's father, Henry Lascelles, 6th Earl of Harewood, is not present in the frame, but his presence is felt in the tender atmosphere of the scene. At this time, Gerald, who was born on September 15, 1924, was just two years old. His older brother, George Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood, was already six years old, making Gerald the younger brother and the third in line to the Earldom. The photograph is a testament to the close bond between mother and son, and the simple joy that a child finds in the most ordinary of objects. The shiny ball, a symbol of innocence and playfulness, adds to the overall charm of the image. As the years passed, Gerald grew up to become a respected figure in his own right, serving in the British Army during World War II and later becoming a successful businessman. However, this photograph remains a cherished reminder of his early childhood, a time of happiness and love in the presence of his beloved mother.
