Pictured left to right: Prince Edward, who was to become King Edward VIII, with Prince John sitting on his knee.
A historic signed photograph of the Royal children which includes the tragic 'lost prince' has emerged for sale for £3,000.
The image, which is thought to date from circa 1909, captures all six children of King George V and Queen Mary in a group portrait.
It is notable for featuring their youngest child Prince John who was kept out of the public gaze because he suffered from epilepsy and autism. He died aged 13 in 1919 from a severe seizure, having spent his final years separated from his siblings in a house on the Sandringham estate.
The children have all signed the photo in their handwriting, although it is possible someone signed John's name on his behalf given his young age.
The 4.5ins by 3.75ins photo is being sold by a private collector with International Autograph Auction, of Malaga, Spain.
