EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1920s, featuring King George V and Queen Mary with four of their five surviving children. Seated elegantly on a plush sofa, Queen Mary, dressed in a beautiful gown and adorned with the Order of the Garter, looks fondly at her brood. To her left, King George V, wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy, places a protective hand on his wife's shoulder. The eldest son, Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), stands to the king's right, his serious expression hinting at the responsibility that awaited him. Next to him, Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor (later King Edward VIII), the future king who abdicated, exudes confidence and charisma. The youngest son, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, sits on the floor, playfully peeking out from behind his mother's skirt. The eldest daughter, Princess Mary, later Viscountess Lascelles, is seated on the floor between her parents, her demure expression and neatly braided hair reflecting her sweet and obedient nature. This image, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a rare glimpse into the intimate family life of the British monarchy during a period of significant change and transition. This historical photograph, with its rich details and evocative atmosphere, is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of the British monarchy, the early 20th century, or family portraits. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between a king, his queen, and their children, and the legacy they left behind.
