I found another photo where they are very close... some people says that George V and his wife Mary were "stiff and cold" persons, but I dont think so, or at least, not when they were out of the public's eyes.

The Princess of Wales, later Queen Mary, with her two eldest sons, Prince Edward of Wales, and Prince Albert of Wales.

I love this picture where Queen Mary's hand is on both David and Bertie's shoulders. I’ve seen just a couple of pictures of her doing that with Bertie, in most part of the pictures she’s doing that just with Edward. I’m very happy I found this because both Mary and George V are always portrayed as terrible parents, and I'm not saying they were perfect but certainly compared to other parents of their time they weren't so bad.

But what are your thoughts about this?

Your blog made me realize how NSFW Mary's and George's relationship was and it's really awesome. Rather than fading out or never blossoming into something deep like his own parents' marriage, they managed to bond in a very wholesome way. It's rare to see royals so in love. Do you have a favorite story about them?

My favorite anecdote of their intimate life is about the embroidered bed pillows.

Queen Mary (who was VERY accomplished with a needle) embroidered two pillows for the bed--her bed, where they usually slept together. On the front of each pillow, very beautifully embroidered, were the names they used with each other--one said "MAY" and the other "GEORGE."

Sometimes the pillows were arranged to say "MAY GEORGE?" and other times they were arranged to say "GEORGE MAY."

The first Christmas Day message by a British monarch was in 1932, when King George V broadcast live from Sandringham. In the speech, which was written by Rudyard Kipling, the King celebrated the power of the wireless to unite all the people of the Empire, and wished them a Happy Christmas

Look at how how close they are! So adorable :)

PS:I think this is my favourite photo of King George V and his wife Mary

“I read that when princess Margaret was born, Queen Mary was a bit upset because she expected a boy, but king George V was happy and he said "girls let you play longer with them' and I think its so cute. He was so loving with his granddaughters. Most fathers and grandfathers will always prefer their daughters and granddaughters more 🥰” - Submitted by Anonymous
