EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, the three elder sons of King George V of Great Britain are captured in a candid moment during a hunt meeting. From left to right, we see Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII and then Duke of Windsor), Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), and Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. The brothers' shared love for the outdoors and sporting pursuits is evident in their attire: Edward and Albert wear breeches and jodhpurs, while Henry dons a flat cap. The brothers' connection is palpable as they engage in conversation, their faces expressing a sense of camaraderie and joy. King George V's reign from 1910 to 1936 was marked by significant historical events, including the First World War and the Irish War of Independence. His eldest son, Edward, was the Prince of Wales during this period and was known for his playboy lifestyle and controversial abdication in 1936. Albert, the second eldest, became King George VI upon his brother's abdication and led the country through the Second World War. Henry, the third eldest, served in the military and played a supporting role in the monarchy. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of these royal figures, showcasing their shared love for the great outdoors and the sporting traditions of the British aristocracy. The image is a testament to the close bond between the brothers and the enduring legacy of the British monarchy.
