Prince Albert with his Tutor and Lord Desborough, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in the life of Prince Albert, the future King George VI. Taken in 1908 when he was just 13 years old, it showcases the young prince attending an athletics meeting alongside his tutor Mr Henry Peter Hansell and Lord Desborough. The image exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication as Prince Albert stands tall in his formal attire, showcasing the poise that would later define him as a monarch. His tutor, Mr Hansell, appears beside him, undoubtedly imparting wisdom and guidance to the young prince on this auspicious occasion. Lord Desborough's presence adds another layer of significance to this photograph. A British athlete, sportsman, and politician himself, he symbolizes both mentorship and camaraderie within elite circles. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates not only Prince Albert's educational journey but also highlights his immersion into various aspects of British society. Preserved within "The Saturday Book" edited by Leonard Russell in 1947, this print serves as a testament to history itself. It offers us a glimpse into the formative years of one who would eventually become King George VI – a figure who faced immense challenges during World War II but emerged as an emblematic leader for Great Britain. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from over a century ago, we are reminded of how even at such tender ages individuals can embody strength and resilience while forging their path towards greatness.
