EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Princess May of Teck, later known as Queen Mary (1867-1953), is depicted in her youthful beauty around the year 1902. At the time of this image, she was not yet a monarch, but rather the future queen consort of King George V of Great Britain and Ireland. Born on May 26, 1867, in Kensington Palace, London, Princess May was the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. She married the Duke of York, who would later ascend to the throne as King George V, on July 6, 1893. Their union marked the beginning of a new era in British monarchy, as King George V succeeded his father, Edward VII, in 1901. This photograph, taken around 1902, captures the essence of Princess May's grace and elegance. She is seen wearing a simple yet elegant dress, with her hair styled in an intricate updo. Her expressive eyes and poised demeanor radiate a sense of confidence and maturity, hinting at the strong and capable woman she would become as queen. The photograph is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the life of a future monarch before she assumed her role. It is a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy and the significant events that shaped the country during the early 20th century. Princess May's life was marked by many milestones, including her marriage to the future King George V, the birth of their six children, and her role as queen consort during World War I. She continued to serve as a beloved and influential figure in British society until her death on March 24, 1953. This photograph, taken around 1902, stands as a reminder of the remarkable life and legacy of Queen Mary, who played a pivotal role in the history of Great Britain and Ireland.
