EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare moment of relaxation for King George V and Queen Mary on board the royal yacht, Medina, in 1911. The King, dressed in a naval uniform with a pipe-lined beard and a cigar in hand, laughs heartily at the antics of the crew members below deck. Queen Mary, wearing a stylish outfit and a sun hat, looks on with amusement, adding to the informal and light-hearted atmosphere. The Medina, a 3-masted schooner, was a favorite of the royal family and was often used for cruises along the English coast. In this image, King George V appears to be fully immersed in the sailing experience, enjoying the camaraderie of his crew and the beauty of the sea. The presence of the Queen adds an extra layer of elegance and refinement to the scene, highlighting the contrast between the formal royal duties and the more casual moments of leisure. The Medina, with its distinctive sails and sleek lines, can be seen anchored alongside the royal yacht, adding to the picturesque setting. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the personal lives of the royal family, providing a rare insight into their informal moments and their shared love of the sea. With the King's relaxed demeanor and the Queen's amused expression, it is clear that this was a moment of pure joy and pleasure for all involved.
