Charming never before seen childhood photos of Edward VIII and George VI playing various sports have been unearthed 117 years later.
The brothers try their hand at golf, fishing, skating and shooting in images taken at the Royal country retreat of Sandringham, Norfolk, between 1904 and 1906.
Prince Edward, then aged 11, wears a kilt while hitting a golf shot in one photo. His nine year old brother Prince Albert (later George VI) holds up a fish he has caught and there is an image of Edward captaining the Sandringham village football team.
