King George VI looking mighty fine in his Southwold shorts ;)

The 7th generation clothing boutique Denny of Southwold posted on Instagram:

"...we think back on the day in 1937 that we were lucky enough to receive a visit from (King Charles') grandfather, King George VI.

Our team of 26 tailors and 3 cutters ensured that they had each applied a stitch to the pair of shorts that we were asked to make for him. The picture shows him wearing the exact pair of shorts at a boys summer camp on the common."

Bertie always wanted to dressed the same as the boys at his Duke of York Camp (later King's Camp) and participate in their same activities.

SO CUTE! Bertie being all awkward and forgetful with the camp sing-songs :)

The Duke of York attending his beloved Boys' Summer Camp in Southwold, Sussex, 1935. The gestures are to an old Pennsylvania Dutch folk song called Johnny Schmoker.
