British Royalty: Prince John--Play


Figure 1.-- We note a charming photpgraph with Prince Olav (later King of Norway) and his brother Prince George (later Duke of Kent). It is a posed photograph, but like most little boys that age, we suspect that they did play soldier. Note the leggings they are wearing. Prince John is wearing a kilt skirt rather than knee pants.

We have little information ob Prince George's play. As a younger boy when he was easy to control, he presumably played with the other royal children. We note a charming photpgraph with Prince Olav (later King of Norway) and his brother Prince George (later Duke of Kent). It is a posed photograph, but like most little boys that age, we suspect that they did play soldier. There are similar photographs of George V's children, suggesting that it was common. Unfortunately we have not yet found much information on the games the royal children played. We would be very interested in any information our readers have found on the royal children's play.
