EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1940, captures a poignant moment in the lives of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and his children, Prince Edward and Princess Alexandra. Amidst the backdrop of the Second World War, the royal family is seen posing with a group of Canadian nurses, paying tribute to the vital role of the Canadian medical services during wartime. The Duke of Kent, dressed in military uniform, stands proudly with his young son, Edward, and daughter, Alexandra, who are both dressed in simple, practical outfits, reflecting the austere times. The presence of the Canadian nurses adds a sense of warmth and humanity to the image, highlighting the important home front efforts being made to support the war effort. The Duke's eldest daughter, Lady Ogilvy, who is not present in the photograph, was also actively involved in the war effort, serving as a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) nurse. The Honorable Sep16, as she was known, later married the Duke of Kent in 1946, making her the mother of the young prince and princess in the photograph. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and resilience shown by the Canadian people during the war years, and the important role of the royal family in supporting the war effort and boosting morale.
