EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment in time from the childhood of the Duke and Duchess of York's brood, taken in the summer of 1906. The image features the royal family of six children, who would grow up to play significant roles in British history. Seated in the center are their parents, His Royal Highness Prince George, Duke of York, and Her Royal Highness Princess Mary of Teck, the Duke and Duchess of York. Surrounding them are their children, all dressed in their Sunday best. From left to right, we see Prince Edward, who would later become the Duke of Windsor and abdicate the throne; Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood; Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester; Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother; Prince Albert, Duke of York, later King George VI; and Prince John, Duke of Bedford, later Marquess of Abergeldie. The Duke of York, the future King George V, wears a traditional Scottish kilt, while his wife, the Duchess of York, dons an elegant dress and a hat adorned with feathers. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, display a range of emotions, from the serious expressions of the older children to the playful grin of the youngest, Prince John. This photograph offers a glimpse into the childhood of the future monarch and his siblings, providing a reminder of the human side of the royal family. The image is a testament to the close-knit bond between the Duke and Duchess of York and their children, who would go on to shape the course of British history.
