Prince George as a Captain in the Royal Navy, c1900s-c1920s (1936)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures Prince George, the second son of Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark, in his distinguished role as a captain in the Royal Navy. Taken sometime between the 1900s and 1920s, this image showcases Prince George's commanding presence and regal demeanor. With his bearded face adorned with a well-groomed mustache, he wears a military uniform complete with an elegant cap. The intricate detailing on his headgear reflects both his status as a member of royalty and his dedication to serving his country. Prince George's naval career was only one facet of his remarkable life. In 1893, he married Princess Mary, with whom he had six children. Following the death of his father in 1910, he ascended to the throne as King George V. During his reign from 1910 to 1935, King George V made significant contributions to British history. He appointed Ramsay MacDonald as Britain's first Labour Prime Minister in 1924 and introduced the tradition of broadcasting a Christmas message to the people in 1932. Tragically, King George V succumbed to influenza on January 20th, 1936. His eldest son Edward succeeded him as king. This print serves not only as a testament to Prince George's naval service but also commemorates an influential monarch who left an indelible mark on British society during some of its most transformative years.
