EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are seen taking a leisurely stroll along the platform of Glamis Railway Station in August 1925. The couple, who were at the time enjoying a break from their royal duties, had arrived at the station in the Angus region of Scotland to begin the shooting season at nearby Glamis Castle. The Duchess, looking radiant in a chic cloche dress and fur-trimmed stole, walks arm in arm with her husband, who is dressed in a smart suit and hat. Their beloved Labrador, Glen, accompanies them, adding to the idyllic scene. The Duke's warm smile and the Duchess's elegant demeanor exude a sense of happiness and contentment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashionable and elegant world of the British monarchy during the 1920s. The Duke and Duchess's stylish attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, with the Duchess's cloche dress and fur-trimmed stole being particularly noteworthy. The use of natural light and the rustic backdrop of the railway station and castle add to the historical significance of the image. The Duke and Duchess of York's visit to Glamis Castle was an annual tradition, and this photograph captures a moment of relaxation and joy during their time away from their royal responsibilities. The image is a testament to their enduring love and devotion to each other, as well as their connection to the Scottish countryside and its rich history.
