EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s, featuring the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George V and Queen Mary, with their eldest son, the future King Edward VIII, then a navy cadet, in Torquay, Devon. The image, taken in 1909, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the royal family. The Duke and Duchess, both dressed in formal attire, exude an air of regal confidence. The Duchess, later Queen Mary, wears a mauve gown adorned with gold braid and a hat bedecked with feathers and fur, while the Duke dons a naval uniform with numerous medals and insignia. Their son, Prince Edward, stands proudly in his navy uniform, complete with a wicker chair for support, as a cadet. The family's connection to the sea is evident, with the Duke's career in the Royal Navy and their vacation in the seaside town of Torquay. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the British monarchy during the Edvardian era, a time of change and tradition.
