EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment in time as King George V (far right, aged 36) poses with his first four children in the idyllic countryside setting of the early 1900s. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, the royal family appears at ease as they gather around their beloved pet dog. From left to right, we see Prince Albert George (later King George VI, aged six), Princess Mary (later Countess Harewood, aged four), Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII, aged seven), and Prince Henry (later Duke of Gloucester, aged one). The eldest son, Albert, wears a sailor suit, reflecting his interest in the navy, while his younger sister, Mary, dons a pretty floral dress. Edward, the second eldest, is dressed in a smart suit, and the youngest, Henry, is held in his father's arms, wearing a white shirt and knickers. The family's connection is palpable as they share a warm and loving moment, with King George V gently holding his son's hand. The scene exudes a sense of happiness and contentment, providing a glimpse into the personal lives of this historic royal family. The photograph, taken in 1901, offers a poignant reminder of the close bond between a father and his children, as well as the fashion and costume trends of the time.
