EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, a young Princess May of Teck, later known as Queen Mary, is captured at the tender age of seven years old in the year 1873. The image showcases the future Queen Consort of King George V of the United Kingdom, dressed in a white blouse and a frilly, lace-trimmed pinafore, with her dark curly hair neatly styled and parted down the middle. Her bright, curious eyes gaze directly into the camera, revealing a playful and engaging expression. Princess May, born on May 26, 1867, was the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. Her parents were German immigrants to the United Kingdom, and she was raised in the British aristocracy. Her marriage to the future King George V in 1893 marked the beginning of her illustrious royal career. This photograph offers a glimpse into the early life of a future monarch, showcasing her youthful charm and innocence. The image stands as a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy and the life of one of its most beloved and influential figures. Princess May's life was marked by her dedication to her family, her country, and her charitable works. She was a patron of numerous organizations, including the British Red Cross and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Her influence extended beyond her role as a consort, as she played a significant role in shaping the public image of the monarchy during her long and eventful reign. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty, capturing the spirit of a young girl who would grow up to become a beloved and influential Queen.
