EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Royal Nurse: Princess Mary's Compassionate Training at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London (1922) In this evocative photograph, Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, is captured in a tender moment during her nurse training at the renowned Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London. Dating back to 1922, this image showcases the future Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood's dedication to the medical profession and her compassionate nature. Great Ormond Street Hospital, an iconic institution in British healthcare, has been at the forefront of children's medical care since its establishment in 1852. Princess Mary, who was 21 years old at the time, chose to undergo nurse training at this esteemed hospital, demonstrating her commitment to helping those in need. The photograph reveals a young Princess Mary, dressed in her nurse's uniform, tenderly holding a child's hand. Her expression is one of genuine care and concern, reflecting the empathy and nurturing qualities that would serve her well in her future roles as a nurse, mother, and royal figurehead. The setting of this image, with its dimly lit room and simple furnishings, adds to the sense of intimacy and compassion. The hospital's name, "Laselles," can be seen on the wall behind the child, a nod to the hospital's founders, Charles West and Elizabeth Fry Lacey. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the life of a young Princess Mary, away from the grandeur and formality of royal life, as she dedicated herself to the important work of nursing and caring for sick children. It is a poignant reminder of the tender side of royalty and the enduring impact of compassionate care.
