EDITORS COMMENTS
Winkle: The Regal Scottie Terrier of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1931) This charming portrait captures the playful and endearing spirit of Winkle, the Scottish Terrier who was a beloved pet to Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. The Duke, who was the youngest son of King George V and Queen Mary, was known for his love of dogs, particularly the Scottish Terrier breed. In this image, Winkle sits proudly, gazing directly at the camera with a confident and curious expression. His short, wiry coat is immaculately groomed, and his bright, alert eyes convey a sense of intelligence and mischief. The Duke's signature monogram, "H.R.H.", is embroidered on the collar of Winkle's collar, signifying his status as a royal pet. The photograph was taken in 1931, during a time when the Duke and his family were residing at Windsor Castle. Winkle was a constant companion to the Duke, often accompanying him on hunting trips and outings. The bond between the Duke and his pet was a source of joy and comfort to him, and he was known to dote on Winkle and other dogs in his care. The Scottish Terrier breed, also known as the Aberdeen Terrier, has a rich history and was originally bred for hunting vermin, particularly badgers and foxes. The breed's distinctive appearance, including its small size, short legs, and distinctive "ear furnishings," made it a popular choice among the aristocracy. This photograph is a delightful reminder of the special bond between a royal family member and his beloved pet, Winkle the Scottish Terrier. It is a testament to the enduring connection between people and their dogs, and the joy that they bring to our lives.
