Rings a big bell ...

Via John Spooner's comment on the above photo ... "The "Prince of Wales" photo: it looks like the future Gerorge[sic] V, who became Prince of Wales in 1901. However, as Duke of York, he and the Duchess stayed at Kilkenny Castle from 19th to 24th April 1899 (Belfast News-letter)."

Interestingly, the National Archives has an entry for a photo described as: "Photograph 11½ x 9½ group of fifteen figures including the Duke and Duchess of York (in centre) on the occasion of the Royal visit to Kilkenny Castle, six ladies and one gentleman seated, eight gentlemen standing, the Duke standing behind the Duchess seated, portraits in background." However, it also says "Copyright owner and author of work: August Nielsen, Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny. Form completed 5 May 1899.".

Mary of Teck is wearing her Shamrock brooch again:

2nd from the right front row doesn't look at all happy.

Oh wow -- this is totally gorgeous!

The car is a 12hp Panhard in which he won the 1000 Mile Trial in 1900.

Fantastic

This photograph was taken on either 1st or 2nd November 1900 when the Duke and Duchess of York were guests of Lord and Lady Llangattock at their residence at The Hendre. From left to right in the car are Sir Charles Cust (1864-1931) was equerry to the Duke of York. The pair had been friends for many years having served together as midshipmen on HMS Bacchante in 1881. Lord Llangattock Charles CS Rolls (in his oilskin driving coat) Duke of York, later King George V.

Sweet... I wonder if its still holding its life time warranty?

This pic was taken at State Government House in Sydney, on 28th March, 1927, when the Duke and Duchess of York attended a garden party held in their honour. This pic might have been taken as the Duke of York inspected a RAAF guard of honour... In this pic we see the Duke of York with Flight Lieutenant Garnet Malley M.C., A.F.C. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245889042 - the Sun, 29th March, 1927 - there's a similar pic here which refers to Malley in the caption. trove.nla.gov.au/work/188066962 - for what it's worth, Geoff Hughes appears in this NLA Fairfax pic which was taken on this same occasion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ trove.nla.gov.au/work/185554774 - Both Geoff Hughes and Garnet Malley appear in this NLA Fairfax pic which was taken in Sydney at an Opening of Parliament ceremony in 1930. Here we see Hughes and Malley dressed in their ceremonial uniforms. Hughes is at the bottom of the stairs...Malley is to the very right of frame. If you're not familiar with Hughes and Malley, they can be differentiated by their service medals...Hughes didn't have a 1914-15 star, whereas Malley did. Both Hughes and Malley were in the Air Force Reserve at this point...Hughes was a Sydney solicitor and Malley worked in civil aviation...I gather they acted as RAAF staff officers and officiated at various ceremonies and functions held in Sydney.
