EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of British monarchy as King George V and Queen Mary pose before the grand facade of Buckingham Palace in 1914. The King, resplendent in his military uniform adorned with numerous medals and insignia, wears the Imperial State Crown, a symbol of his sovereignty, on his head. Queen Mary, the consort, complements her husband's regal attire with her diamond and pearl-encrusted tiara, the Lover's Knot Tiara, and an elegant gown. The year 1914 marked a significant period in the lives of the royal couple, as it was the year when King George V assumed the throne following the death of his father, King Edward VII. Queen Mary, who had married the future King in 1893, had already been serving as the Queen Consort for over two decades. The photograph also bears testament to Queen Mary's naval connections, as she was the Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood in her own right, and her father, Prince Albert Edward, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, was a prominent figure in the Royal Navy. Her interest in the navy was further strengthened by her marriage to George, who was the Prince of Wales and a First Sea Lord before his accession to the throne. The image, taken in the early years of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy during a time of transition and change. The photograph, with its rich historical significance, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the royal family and their role in the annals of British history.
