EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Mary, the eldest daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, is seen riding her pony at the tender age of four, in the year 1901. The young princess, who would later become the Countess of Harewood, is dressed in a charming outfit befitting her royal status. She wears a white blouse with a lace collar, a navy blue velvet jacket, and a matching hat adorned with a ribbon and a feather. The princess's cherubic face is filled with delight as she holds the reins of her pony, her eyes focused on the path ahead. The serene setting of the image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, an era of elegance and refinement. The lush greenery and the clear blue sky provide a picturesque backdrop to the scene, further emphasizing the idyllic nature of the moment. Princess Mary's pony, a well-groomed and obedient companion, seems to be in perfect harmony with its young rider, adding to the overall charm of the image. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the childhood of a future monarch, providing a glimpse into the life of the royal family at the turn of the century. It is a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty, showcasing the playful and carefree spirit of a young princess who would grow up to become a beloved member of the British monarchy. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between a child and her beloved pet, and the simple joys of country life that continue to resonate with us today.
