EDITORS COMMENTS
In the tranquil summer of 1924, Queen Mary, the Queen Consort of King George V, embarked on a delightful visit to the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland at their ancestral home, Warkworth Castle, located in Northumberland, England. The royal party was welcomed with open arms by the Duke and Duchess, who were known for their warm hospitality. During her stay, Queen Mary enjoyed various activities, including a pleasurable boat ride along the picturesque River Coquet. The serene waterway, with its crystal-clear reflections, provided an idyllic setting for the royal outing. The Queen, dressed in a elegant summer hat and a light dress, looked radiant as she sat in the boat, her smile reflecting her joy and contentment. The Duke and Duchess accompanied Queen Mary on this leisurely excursion, and they all marveled at the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding landscape. Warkworth Castle, a magnificent fortress that had stood the test of time, loomed majestically in the background, its towering walls and crenellations adding a sense of history and grandeur to the scene. As the boat glided along the river, the group took in the stunning vistas, with the sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. The peaceful atmosphere was only interrupted by the gentle lapping of the water against the boat and the occasional call of birds nesting in the trees along the riverbank. This photograph captures a moment of pure relaxation and enjoyment, as Queen Mary and the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland savored the pleasures of the river and the company of each other. The image serves as a testament to the enduring charm of the British monarchy and the beauty of the Northumberland countryside.
