EDITORS COMMENTS
In this beautiful photograph, taken in 1897, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Mary (1867-1953), is captured in a tender moment with her first two children, the future King Edward VIII (1894-1972) and King George VI (1895-1952). The image showcases the deep bond between the mother and her sons, as they sit on a wooden bench, with the Duchess gently touching the heads of her young princes. The photograph was taken during a time of happiness and joy for the royal family. Queen Mary, who was the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck, had married the future King George V in 1893, and the birth of her first son, Edward, in 1894, brought great excitement to the British monarchy. Two years later, in 1896, she gave birth to her second son, Albert, who would later become King George VI. The photograph is a testament to the love and devotion of a mother towards her children. The Duchess, who would later become Queen Consort and then Queen Mother, is seen in her role as a loving and caring mother, nurturing her sons in their early years. The image also highlights the future kings' youthful innocence and playful nature, as they sit comfortably on their mother's lap and engage in a playful interaction. This photograph is an important historical document, capturing a moment in time that would shape the future of the British monarchy. The image is a reminder of the human side of royalty, showcasing the love and connection between a mother and her children, and the early years of two future monarchs. The photograph is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the enduring bond between family and the monarchy.
