Look at this l'il cutie sailor taking a big bite of cake (well, I hope it is cake!) <3

'Prince Albert the nurse frankly ignored to a degree which amounted virtually to neglect. So completely did she disregard his wants and comforts that he was frequently given his afternoon bottle while driving in a C-sprung Victoria [a doorless four-wheeled open carriage], a process not dissimilar from a rough Channel crossing -- and with corresponding results. It is not surprising that the baby developed chronic stomach trouble, which may well have laid the foundation for the gastric complaint from which he was later to suffer so acutely.'

Excerpt from King George VI, His Life and Reign, by John W. Wheeler-Bennett, 1958.

After poor Bertie went hungry and felt queasy for the first couple of years of his life, seeing photos of him (and his siblings) being able to eat lots of yummy food is just so precious :)

Prince Albert, Princess Mary, and (last photo) Prince Edward possibly with their --much loved & devoted-- new nanny Charlotte 'Lala' Bill. Snettisham Beach, Norfolk, c. 1901.

Is it true that George V and Queen Mary didn't think about their only daughter as she was overshadowed by her male siblings?

Hi!

Not at all! In fact Mary was often thought to be her fathers favourite! And in later life she was most likely her mothers too (as they spent a great deal of time together as both were widows).

Hope this helps! ❤️
