100 years ago in July 1926, a couple of months after the birth of his daughter Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth II), Prince Albert, the Duke of York (later George VI) took to Court No. 1 to play in the Wimbledon Jubilee Championships Gentlemen's Doubles tournament alongside his close friend, Sir Louis Greig. The pair lost their first-round match to former champions Arthur Gore and Herbert Roper Barrett. George VI remains the only British Royal to take part in Wimbledon which the family have served as Royal Patrons (George V, Elizabeth II and Catherine, The Princess of Wales) and Club Presidents (Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent) since 1907.

I had the honor of being presented to His Majesty, and noted that King George VI was a much better-looking man than the Duke of Windsor.

KING GEORGE VI, back from North Africa, meets WINSTON CHURCHILL in the officers’ mess at RAF Northolt.

Very early on the morning of June 25 [1943] the York aircraft touched down at Northolt on the completion of her return journey. She had arrived an hour ahead of schedule, much to the consternation of the Prime Minister and those others who were meeting the King on his arrival. Later in the day the War Cabinet called at Buckingham Palace to congratulate him on his safe return.

“Do not lose heart. Life is a great adventure, and every one of you can be a pioneer, blazing by thought and service a trail to better things.”

King George VI, in a speech on Empire Day, May 24, 1939, from Winnipeg, Canada

There is a great reluctance to part with anything. On the second floor of the Palace, there are cupboards and cupboards full of clothes, dating back years.

[...] The clothes of King George VI, the Queen’s father, are still there. Various valets over the years have thought of clearing them out, but it would require permission from the Queen Mother, and no one dares suggest it.

ROYAL SECRETS by STEPHEN P. BARRY (1985)

Barry served as personal valet to Prince Charles from 1970-1982

KING GEORGE VI meets Movietone cameraman PAUL WYAND in Arezzo, Italy, July 1944.

‘His Majesty met the various war correspondents covering his Italian visit. He walked along the line with the conducting officer, and as they reached me the King pointed and said: “I know this man.”’

PAUL WYAND - USELESS IF DELAYED (1959)

Wyand had filmed the King on multiple occasions before and during the war. He later covered the Royal Tour of South Africa in 1947 and the King’s final public appearance in January 1952.
