Bill Brother Charlotte Gloucester Lascelles Looked Nurse Pram Viscountess Younger 1902
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from 1902, Princess Mary of York, later known as the Princess Royal and Viscountess Lascelles, is seen enjoying a ride in a large pram with her younger brother, Prince Henry of York, who would later become the Duke of Gloucester. The siblings, both dressed in warm winter clothing, appear content and at ease as they are looked after by their nurse, Mrs Charlotte Bill, affectionately known as "Lala." Mary, born on May 25, 1897, was the eldest child of Prince George, Duke of York, and Princess Mary of Teck. Her younger brother, Henry, was born on September 30, 1900. The two were raised in the shadow of their grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, and their uncle, King Edward VII. The photograph captures a moment of sibling bonding and the tender care of a devoted nurse. Mrs Bill, who had been in the employ of the royal family since the early 1890s, played an important role in the upbringing of the York children. Her presence in the photograph underscores the importance of the nursery staff in the lives of the royal family's younger members. The image, taken in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the royal family and the close relationship between the siblings. The large pram, a common mode of transportation for infants and young children at the time, adds to the historical context of the photograph. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the childhood experiences of Princess Mary and Prince Henry and the loving care they received from their nurse, Mrs Charlotte Bill. It is a precious piece of royal history that continues to captivate and intrigue history buffs and royal enthusiasts alike.
