EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, taken in 1897, captures a moment of innocent joy and brotherly bonding between two future monarchs of the British Royal Family: Prince Albert, later known as King George VI, and Prince David, who would become Edward VIII and then the Duke of Windsor. The brothers, both dressed in frilly girlish dresses typical of Victorian-era fashion for boys, pose playfully with their toy carriage and wooden horses. At the time, Prince David was celebrating his sixteenth birthday and had just been titled Prince of Wales, while Prince Albert was four years younger. Though their futures held great responsibility and historical significance, this snapshot offers a glimpse into their carefree childhood. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a precious reminder of the human side of royalty and the universal experience of childhood.
