EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the historic tour of Canada by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, who would later ascend to the throne as King George V and Queen Mary in 1936. Taken in the late 1800s, the image showcases the couple's regal presence and the warmth of their relationship as they embarked on their first major royal tour together. The Duke of Cornwall, later King George V, was born on June 3, 1865, in Sandringham, Norfolk, England. He was the second son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. His older brother, Albert Victor, died unexpectedly in 1892, making George the heir to the throne. The Duchess of Cornwall, later Queen Mary, was born on May 26, 1867, in Kensington Palace, London. She was the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. Mary was a popular and beloved figure, known for her beauty, intelligence, and dedication to her family and country. Their tour of Canada in 1891 was a significant event in their lives, as it marked their first major joint engagement as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall. The tour allowed them to connect with the Canadian people and showcase their commitment to the British monarchy. This photograph, taken during their visit, offers a glimpse into their early married life and the beginning of their reign. The image is a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy and the enduring bond between the crown and its people. It serves as a reminder of the importance of tradition and the role of the monarchy in shaping the history of Canada and the United Kingdom.
