EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1900-1974), the third son of King George V and Queen Mary, is seen engaging in a playful activity with a young child. The scene takes place outdoors, with the Duke dressed in a traditional Scottish kilt and gaiters, adding a touch of elegance to the rustic setting. The Duke holds a child-sized besom broom in his hand, its bristles brimming with autumn leaves. A miniature rake and wheelbarrow are also present, suggesting that the Prince and the child were enjoying a day of pretend gardening. The Duke's cap and the child's cap add to the whimsical atmosphere of the moment. The photograph, taken circa 1903, captures the essence of childhood innocence and the Duke's playful nature. This image offers a glimpse into the early life of the Duke of Gloucester, who went on to serve as a naval officer during World War I and later became the Duke of Gloucester and Earl of Ulster upon his brother's abdication in 1936. The photograph is a delightful reminder of the Duke's lighter side and his connection to the simple joys of childhood.
