EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, taken in 1960, His Royal Highness Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1900-1974), and his gracious wife, Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester (1901-2004), are seen at their Northamptonshire manor residence, examining an intriguing large plate with great interest. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, who were the third and fourth in line to the British throne at the time, were known for their love of antiques and their country estate, Barnwell Manor. The Duke, dressed in a casual sweater and slacks, leans over the plate, deep in thought, while the Duchess, wearing a floral dress and pearls, looks on with a curious expression. A terrier named Douglas, a beloved pet of the couple, sits obediently at the Duke's feet, adding a touch of playfulness to the scene. The manor, which dates back to the 16th century, is nestled in the picturesque countryside of Yorkshire and has been in the family since the late 18th century. The Duke and Duchess spent much of their time there, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the rich history of the estate. The large plate, which is the center of their attention, is likely an antique piece that holds great sentimental or historical value to the royal couple. The Duke's intense focus and the Duchess's intrigued expression suggest that they are uncovering a fascinating story or discovery. This photograph captures a moment of quiet intimacy and shared curiosity, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and their love for their home and antique collections.
