EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a young Prince George, future King George V of England, in the late Victorian era around the 1870s. At the time, the future monarch was just a charming and curious boy, full of energy and innocence. The image showcases Prince George in a formal attire, wearing a crisp shirt, a velvet jacket, and a bow tie, accessorized with a sash and a badge. His hair is neatly combed back, revealing a mischievous grin that hints at the charisma and leadership qualities that would later come to define his reign. Prince George was born on June 3, 1865, in London, England, to Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, and Princess Alexandra of Denmark. He was the second son and third child of the Prince of Wales and Princess Alexandra. Prince George's elder brother, Albert Victor, was the heir apparent at the time, but he died in 1892, making George the new heir. The young prince received an excellent education, and his upbringing was marked by discipline and rigor, reflecting the expectations of the British monarchy. This photograph offers a glimpse into his early years, a time when he was still a carefree boy, far removed from the responsibilities and duties that awaited him as the future king. King George V ascended to the throne following the death of his father, King Edward VII, in 1901. During his reign, which lasted until 1936, he oversaw significant changes in British society, including the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of the modern era. This photograph, however, serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the future king was just a curious and playful boy, captivating the hearts of all who saw him.
