Based on the orders worn by the Duke of York, this picture is likely to have been taken in late 1926. The Duke is wearing the stars of the Order of the Garter (which he received in 1916), and the Order of the Thistle (1923). The order he is wearing around his neck appears to be the Order of St John, which he received in June 1926. In December the same year he received the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG), which I cannot see him wearing. Thus I believe the picture was taken after June 1926. I notice in the picture from 1928 posted later in this thread that he is not obviously wearing the GCMG, which means this picture might have been taken after December 1926 and I cannot spot the GCMG or he is not wearing it by choice. The picture cannot have been taken before June 1926, however. --Previous Message-- : Getty has a photo of QEQM wearing 2emerald : pendants on her pearls.
