EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 1660s, King Charles II of England and his younger brother James, later to become King James II of England and Ireland and King James VII of Scotland, take a leisurely stroll through the picturesque St. James's Park in London. The two monarchs, both elegantly dressed in the fashion of the time, are accompanied by their beloved pet spaniels, adding a playful touch to the regal scene. Charles II, known for his love of hunting and the outdoors, leads the way, deep in conversation with his brother. The brothers' easy camaraderie is evident as they enjoy each other's company, away from the formalities and responsibilities of the court. The tranquil setting of the park, with its serene lake and lush greenery, provides a welcome respite from the bustling city. The image offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of these two influential monarchs, who ruled during a period of significant change in English history. Their constitutional monarchy, which balanced the power between the monarch and Parliament, set the stage for the modern British monarchy. The brothers' choice of companion animals, the popular spaniel breed, further underscores their affluence and status. The spaniels, with their alert and friendly expressions, add to the charm of the scene, making it a delightful representation of the brothers' shared love for the outdoors and their cherished pets. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, beautifully encapsulates the brotherly bond, the elegance, and the charm of the English monarchy during the late 17th century.
