Quote from: Grace on March 14, 2010, 06:28:41 AM I've always loved this photo too, even though the mood of everyone seems quite sombre in it. So true Grace! I wonder if the photo was taken at Sandringham as I recall seeing included in book about Sandringham years ago, unless it was just showing who's who. I think you are right Margot. Maybe Christmas time perhaps, or just a photo opportunity to include Charles (interesting to think he lived on until 1957- would love to of heard his memories!)...Toria looks dressed for winter, or did they wear muffs in summer too I wonder? Gloves most likely..

Could you tell us who all the people in the picture are?I'm not absolutely certain that the man standing on the right is Carl/Haakon, as he doesn't look tall enough. Unless everyone else in the back row in standing on something, he looks only a couple of inches taller than Edward VII, who was about 5ft 7. I'm not sure how tall Haakon actually was, but in most pictures he towers over everybody. His brother Christian X was 6ft 6 and the tallest king in the world in his day, so I'm guessing that Haakon was about 6ft 4 or 5.Ann
