EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of King George V, taken at Craigweil House in Bognor, captures the regal presence and charm of the monarch during a leisurely moment in his life. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, showcases the King in a more informal setting, seated on a tricycle outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery and the beautiful backdrop of Craigweil House. King George V, who ruled from 1910 to 1936, was the second son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. He ascended the throne following his father's death and was known for his dedication to duty and commitment to modernizing the British monarchy. This portrait, however, offers a glimpse into his personal life, revealing a more relaxed and approachable side of the King. Craigweil House, located in Bognor, Sussex, was a popular retreat for the Royal Family, providing them with a much-needed respite from the pressures of royal life. The house, which was built in the late 18th century, was known for its beautiful gardens and stunning coastal views. The King's visit to Craigweil House in 1911, as depicted in this portrait, marked the beginning of the Royal Family's long association with the town of Bognor. This portrait is a testament to the enduring allure of royalty and the humanizing effect of a candid photograph. It invites us to appreciate the King not just as a monarch, but as a man who, like us all, sought moments of joy and relaxation in the beauty of nature.
