EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, the three eldest children of King George V and Queen Mary, Prince David, Prince Albert, and Princess Mary, can be seen playing soldiers at Frogmore House. The image, taken in the early 20th century, captures the essence of their childhood innocence and playful spirit. Prince David, who would later become the Duke of Windsor and the short-lived King Edward VIII in 1936, is depicted on the left, wearing a sailor suit and holding a toy gun. Prince Albert, who would succeed his brother as King George VI in 1936, is in the middle, also dressed in a sailor suit and holding a toy sword. Princess Mary, the eldest daughter, sits in a chair and wears a pretty dress, looking on at her brothers' playful antics. The siblings' attire reflects the popular trend of children dressing up as soldiers during this period, reflecting the influence of the British military and the country's imperial legacy. The setting of Frogmore House, a royal residence in Windsor Home Park, adds to the sense of grandeur and privilege. Despite the formalities of their royal upbringing, this photograph offers a glimpse into the children's more carefree moments, showcasing their youth and sibling bond. The image is a poignant reminder of their childhood and the lives they would later lead as monarchs and members of the British royal family. This photograph is a historical treasure from the archives of the Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans, and it offers a unique insight into the lives of the future King George VI, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and the Duke of Windsor during their childhood.
