EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1919, Princess Mary, later Countess of Harewood, is seen riding alongside her brothers, Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Prince Albert, who would later become King George VI, on horseback. The siblings are accompanied by Lord Dalkeith, who was the subject of a popular rumor at the time regarding an alleged engagement to Princess Mary. The image captures the essence of the post-war era, with the royal family enjoying a leisurely ride through the countryside. Princess Mary, dressed in a simple yet elegant riding habit, gazes intently at the horizon, while her brothers and Lord Dalkeith engage in animated conversation. The horses, with their manes flowing in the wind, add a sense of motion and energy to the scene. However, the rumors of an engagement between Princess Mary and Lord Dalkeith were soon quashed by the King's private secretary, Lord Stamfordham, who issued a statement denying any truth to the reports. Despite this, the rumor mill continued to churn, fueled by the close relationship between the two and their frequent public appearances together. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the British royal family during a time of transition, as they adjusted to the aftermath of the First World War and the changing social landscape of the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of royalty and the power of gossip to shape public perception.
