EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken at Pitsford Hall in 1926, the elegant Mrs George Drummond is seen in the company of His Royal Highness The Duke of York, who would later become King George VI. The Duke, dressed in traditional hunting attire, is shown adjusting the collar of Mrs Drummond's fur-trimmed coat, adding a touch of warmth and intimacy to the image. Mrs Drummond, a prominent figure in British society, is dressed in the height of fashion for a country estate visit. Her chic outfit consists of a stylish dress with a high waistline, long sleeves, and a full skirt, accessorized with a fur-trimmed jacket, a hat adorned with a feather, and a pair of elegant gloves. Her refined appearance and poised demeanor perfectly complement the Duke's regal presence. The backdrop of Pitsford Hall, a beautiful English country estate, adds to the grandeur of the scene. The Duke and Mrs Drummond are surrounded by the lush greenery of the estate, with the grand manor house visible in the background. The atmosphere is one of leisure and affluence, as the Duke and Mrs Drummond engage in a casual moment during a hunting excursion. This photograph is a testament to the close relationship between the British aristocracy and the monarchy during the early 20th century. The Duke's easy familiarity with Mrs Drummond reflects the social norms of the time, where the aristocracy and the royal family were closely interconnected. The image captures a moment of grace and elegance, a snapshot of a bygone era.
