Smiley Duke

The Duke & Duchess of York. This may be an engagement photo, not sure, but it's one of my favorites. I love how Bertie is trying to repress his joyful giggles. And I also love Elizabeth's style.

I adore finding original true colour footage of our lovely King George VI ❤️

There is so little available that I am always surprised to see his tanned skin (from spending so much time outdoors!) and the brightness of his ribbon medals.

Check out the way he just eyeballs the camera for a split second. You better look sharp and behave! Bertie’s always watching you…

The Duke of Windsor was staying at the Waldorf Astoria on February 6, 1952, when word came that his brother, King George VI, had died. The hotel lowered the American and British flags to half-staff in the late king's honor.

What do you feel about the house of york

I feel like it's a medieval dynasty that one a war. That's about it.

I also think that Richard Duke of York was nothing more than a jealous cousin that saw the perfect opportunity to climb the ladder and took it, justly paying the price. Edward IV's anger over his and his brother's death is understandable and so were his actions. Too bad that he didn't saw that the Duke of York's ruthless ambitions had trickled down to his sons Richard and George before they tried it with him. I think the Woodvilles were overtly greedy and took too much of the hand that fed them making the nobility hate them, and they also paid for it. I mean, arranging prestige marriages for every single Woodville? I get it, one of them was the Queen, but come on now, they clearly overplayed.

On the whole, I find this representation of the Yorks as this typical Good HeirsTM that took their rightful place on the throne and stepped up through harsh times that persists so much to this day lame and reductive. The truth of the matter is, they were never more just and GoodTM than the Lancasters. The Lancasters successfully organized a coup and sat the throne, the Yorks did the same, demonizing Henry VI and Queen Margaret of Anjou through propaganda as a freak and an overly ambitious femme fatale respectively, while casting their teenage son as a cruel bastard. All for defending fiercely what was by right theirs (we have Shakespeare to blame for that as well).

The Duchess of York with Princess Elizabeth and a canine friend at Glamis Castle.

I've read that the Duke took this photo and it was in 1930 when Elizabeth was pregnant with Princess Margaret. Hence the strategic placement of the dog and the wall!

Good job, Bertie. It's a sweet photo!
