EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Mary, is captured in a tender moment with her two eldest sons, Prince Albert, Duke of York (future King George VI) and Prince Edward of Wales (later King Edward VIII), in the late 1890s. The family's joyful expression and the children's playful demeanor radiate warmth and happiness. The Duchess, dressed in a girlish, white dress with full skirts, cradles her younger son, Prince Edward, in her lap, while her eldest son, Prince Albert, stands beside them, holding his brother's hand. The boys, both infants at the time, wear matching sailor suits, adding a touch of uniformity and adorableness to the scene. The photograph, taken circa 1897, offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of the royal family, showcasing the loving bond between the mother and her sons. The image is a beautiful testament to the family's unity and the innocence of childhood. The Duchess of York, who later became the consort of King George V in 1910, played a significant role in the British monarchy, and her sons went on to become King George VI and King Edward VIII, respectively. This photograph serves as a reminder of their humble beginnings and the close-knit family they shared.
