EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait graced the cover of The Tatler magazine in November 1939, featuring King George VI in the service uniform of a Field Marshal. King George VI, born Prince Albert, Duke of York on December 6, 1895, ascended to the British throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, on December 11, 1936. As the monarch of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth during World War II, he provided a sense of stability and unity to the British people during a time of great turmoil. In this image, the King is depicted in the full regalia of a Field Marshal, a rank he was granted in 1936. The uniform, complete with the distinctive red and gold braiding, epaulets, and sash, signifies the highest military rank and symbolizes the monarch's role as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces. The King's stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting the spirit of the British people during the early days of the war. The cover of The Tatler, a prestigious British society and fashion magazine, served as a platform to showcase the King's leadership and military prowess, emphasizing his role as a wartime monarch. This powerful and evocative image remains a testament to the resilience and fortitude of King George VI and the British people during World War II.
