EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, taken in the picturesque grounds of Balmoral Castle in Scotland during the year 1927, King George V, resplendent in traditional Scottish attire, engages in a delightful conversation with the Duchess of York, while his brother, the Duke of York, follows behind. The trio had been participating in the annual Balmoral Garden Fete, an event that brought together the local community and the royal family in celebration of Scottish culture and tradition. King George V, dressed in a full Highland outfit complete with kilt, sporran, and tartan sash, cuts an imposing and regal figure. His wife, Queen Mary, who is not present in the photograph, would have worn a similar outfit, adorned with jewels and a sash in the royal tartan. The Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, wears a simple yet elegant dress and a hat adorned with flowers, reflecting the festive spirit of the occasion. The Duke of York, wearing a more subdued version of the Highland outfit, carries a walking stick and a basket, suggesting that he had been helping with the various activities and games that were part of the Garden Fete. The group's relaxed and joyful demeanor adds to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the event, making this photograph a beautiful and evocative reminder of the connection between the British monarchy and the Scottish people. The Balmoral Estate, located in the Scottish Highlands, has been a beloved retreat for the British royal family since the late 19th century. The annual Garden Fete is just one of the many traditions that celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Scotland and the enduring bond between the monarchy and the Scottish people.
