The Obelisk, Trent Park, Greater London

Obelisks might not seem as exciting as some of the quirkier landscape ornaments, but this one began a particularly interesting life in around 1732. Two hundred years later it was one of a group of monuments from Wrest Park in Bedfordshire that was sold to the wealthy socialite and politician Sir Philip Sassoon, and taken to his seat at Trent Park in Middlesex. There each was carefully placed in…

THE CHILDREN OF KING GEORGE III & QUEEN CHARLOTTE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

The royal couple welcomed a total of fifteen children together, but sadly not all of them survived into adulthood. Two, Prince Octavius and Prince Alfred, passed away in infancy, at the ages of 2 and 4, respectively, from smallpox. Later on, Princess Amelia also sadly died young, albeit it at the age of 27, after succumbing to tuberculosis. As for when their brood started to arrive, it seems George and Charlotte wasted no time in getting to know one another and less than a year into their marriage, on 12 August 1762

The Dukes of Edinburgh, Gloucester, Windsor and Kent march during the funeral procession of King George VI // 15 FEBRUARY 1952

‘It was a long walk to Paddington, past the Cenotaph, along the Mall, where Queen Mary watched the procession pass from her balcony at Marlborough House, past what was left of 145 Piccadilly, the King’s home before his accession, and up Park Lane to Paddington. The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Windsor wore naval uniform, the Duke of Gloucester a military greatcoat, and I wore an overcoat and top hat. I was only sixteen.’

“I have always stood for the underrated and imo prince George, the duke of Kent is underrated. He was far more educated, more intellectual and much better looking than his brothers, yet he is very little talked about, even though he was fascinating. I also love it that he and his son prince Michael are doppelgangers of King George V ❤️” - Submitted by george-v-and-mary
