EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment in time, as the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George V and Queen Mary of Britain, gather their six children for a family portrait in 1911. Seated in the front row, the youngest princes, Prince John and Prince George, Duke of Kent, gaze intently at the camera with innocent curiosity. Behind them, their elder siblings, Princess Mary, later Viscountess Lascelles, Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), Prince Edward, Duke of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, display a range of expressions, from playful smiles to serious gazes. The children are dressed in their Sunday best, with Prince John and Prince George wearing sailor suits, a fashionable choice for young boys at the time. The Duke and Duchess of York, who would go on to raise their children during a time of great change and upheaval in British history, look proudly at their brood. The family portrait, taken at Harewood House, offers a glimpse into the childhoods of the future monarchs and their younger siblings, a time of innocence and joy before the responsibilities of adulthood and the crown. The Duke and Duchess of York's six children, from left to right in the back row, are Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), Princess Mary, later Viscountess Lascelles, Prince Edward, Duke of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and in the front row, Prince John, who died at the age of fourteen of a severe epilepsy seizure, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and Prince George, Duke of Kent.
