EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the elegant world of British royalty at the Sandown Racecourse in 1931. King George V, the monarch reigning from 1910 to 1936, is seen in regal attire, seated next to his wife, Queen Mary. Their daughter, Princess Mary, and her husband, Henry Lascelles, Lord Harewood, are also present, as well as Edward Stanley, the 16th Earl of Derby. The Earl's horse, Caerleon, had won the race that day, making this a triumphant occasion for the nobleman. The royal family's presence at the races was a cherished tradition, and their attendance added an air of grandeur and excitement to the event. The 1930s, often referred to as the 'Golden Age' of horseracing, was a time when the sport held a prominent place in British society. The elegant attire, the thrill of the race, and the camaraderie among the aristocracy are all beautifully encapsulated in this evocative image. The photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the monarchy and horseracing were inextricably linked. This image is a testament to the rich history and traditions of the British royal family and the enduring allure of the sport of kings.
