EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in September 1939, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, Prince George and Princess Marina, are seen taking a leisurely walk in Belgrave Square, London, with their beloved Chow dog. The image captures a moment of tranquility and normalcy amidst the looming shadows of war. The date of this photograph is significant, as it was just a few days after the declaration of war on September 3rd, 1939, following Germany's invasion of Poland. The royal couple's casual stroll through the picturesque square stands in stark contrast to the turmoil and uncertainty that was beginning to grip Europe and the world. Prince George, who was the youngest brother of King George VI, was a Danish prince by birth, having been born in Copenhagen in 1902. He married Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark in 1934. The couple's happy marriage was a source of joy to the British public, and they were popular figures in the royal family. Their Chow dog, whose breed was known for its distinctive blue-black tongue and powerful build, adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. The dog's relaxed demeanor and the couple's easy smiles suggest that, for the moment at least, life goes on as usual. Despite the impending conflict, the Duke and Duchess of Kent continued to carry out their royal duties, including visiting hospitals and morale-boosting engagements for the armed forces. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the royals, like the rest of the population, were trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy in the face of unimaginable upheaval. This photograph, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, is a precious document of history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Kent during a pivotal moment in world history.
