H.R.H. Prince Edward of York, 1895. 'All her Majesty's loyal subjects are interested in the youthful heir to the throne. The infant son of the Duke and Duchess of York is "thriving," to quote the language of the nursery, exceedingly well, and is entirely unaffected by the intense cold or the debates in Parliament. Both these will doubtless become in due course things with which Prince Edward will have to reckon. He has displayed keen delight at the return of his grandmother, the Princess of Wales, who always manages to make friends with little children. The Queen possesses already several different portraits of the young Prince, who has up to the present time proved an excellent subject for the photographer'. Edward VIII (1894-1972), later known as the Duke of Windsor, was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 20 January 1936 until his abdication in December of the same year. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
