EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in history as members of the British Royal Family gather on the deck of a Royal Navy vessel during World War I. Circa 1918, the scene is set against the backdrop of the vast ocean, with the ship's sails billowing in the wind. Seated in the center is King George V (1865-1936), resplendent in his naval uniform, flanked by his wife, Queen Mary of Teck (1867-1953). To his left, Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) (1895-1952), wears his naval uniform with pride, as does his sister, Princess Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood (1897-1965). To the King's right, his eldest son, Prince Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) (1894-1972), and his younger brother, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1900-1974), stand at attention in their uniforms. The unity and camaraderie of the Royal Family are palpable as they show their support for the British military efforts during the war. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the monarchy during a pivotal moment in history.
