EDITORS COMMENTS
A Royal Tradition on the Thames: The Henley Regatta's Encounter with King George V, Queen Mary, and Princess Mary in 1912 This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of British royalty and the Henley Regatta's rich tradition. In the summer of 1912, King George V, Queen Mary, and Princess Mary graced the picturesque town of Henley-on-Thames with their presence, embarking on the iconic State Barge for a leisurely cruise along the River Thames. The State Barge, a magnificent vessel built in 1689 for King William III's Consort, Queen Mary, stands proudly in the foreground. Surviving to this day as part of the National Maritime Museum's collection, the barge's enduring presence is a testament to the deep-rooted customs and traditions that have shaped the British monarchy. As the royal party passed beneath the historic Henley Church tower, the bells were rung in their honor, adding an air of solemnity and celebration to the occasion. This time-honored custom, which dates back centuries, underscores the deep connection between the monarchy and the communities they serve. The image of the royal family aboard the State Barge, with the church tower and the bustling Regatta in the background, encapsulates the essence of a bygone era. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring traditions that continue to shape the fabric of British society and the unwavering bond between the monarchy and its people.
