EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the youthful charm and camaraderie between Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII, 1894-1972) and his younger brother, Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI, 1895-1952), as they pose for the camera around the year 1909. Both princes are dressed in smart attire, with Edward donning a fashionable trilby hat, while Albert wears a more conventional bowler hat. The brothers' easy smiles and relaxed posture suggest a close bond between them, as they enjoy each other's company during their formative years. Edward, the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary, was known for his charisma and playboy lifestyle, while Albert was more reserved and serious. Their contrasting personalities would later lead to Edward's controversial abdication in 1936, paving the way for Albert to ascend the throne as King George VI. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of these future monarchs, showcasing their youthful energy and sibling connection. As symbols of British royalty, Edward and Albert's relationship is an intriguing chapter in the rich history of the British monarchy, making this image a valuable addition to any collection of royal portraits.
