EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a young and playful Prince Albert, later known as King George VI, at the age of one in 1897. Born on December 14, 1895, in York Cottage at Sandringham, Norfolk, Prince Albert, also known as "Bertie," was the second son of the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George V and Queen Mary. In this charming image, the future monarch can be seen seated in a toy carriage, pulled by two wooden horses. The Victorian-era setting adds an air of nostalgia and elegance, as the young prince joyfully explores the world around him. The photograph offers a glimpse into the early childhood of a future king, showcasing his carefree spirit and love for play. Prince Albert's upbringing was filled with the joys and challenges of a typical childhood, despite his royal status. He was educated at home by governesses and tutors, and spent time with his siblings, including his older brother, the future Edward VIII. The family's country estate at Sandringham provided a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of royal life in London. This photograph is a precious reminder of the humanity and innocence of a future monarch, as he revels in the simple pleasures of childhood. The image has been preserved by the Illustrated London News Ltd and is now available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique glimpse into the personal history of one of Britain's most beloved kings.
