EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history as Edward VII, the King of the United Kingdom from 1901 to 1910, enjoys a weekend retreat at Rufford House near Doncaster in September 1906. The King, dressed in a stylish suit and hat, stands to the left of the image, with a group of aristocratic guests gathered around. Among them is Alice Keppel, the King's mistress, who is seen fourth from the left, wearing an elegant dress and a striking hat adorned with feathers. Rufford Abbey, a historic monastic ruin located nearby, served as the backdrop for this grand gathering. The King's visit to Rufford House was a popular topic of gossip in the press at the time, and he reportedly stayed for a 22-weekend sojourn. The image exudes an air of elegance and opulence, reflecting the Edwardian era's aristocratic lifestyle and social customs. The guests, all dressed in their finest attire, appear to be in high spirits, engaged in lively conversation or laughter. The King's warm smile and relaxed posture suggest that he is enjoying himself immensely. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the royalty and aristocracy during this period. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Rufford Abbey and the surrounding area, which has played host to many notable figures throughout the centuries. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when grand houses and lavish parties were the norm for the elite, and the monarchy held a powerful sway over society.
