EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a young Prince Edward, later known as Edward VIII, donning traditional Scottish attire during a family visit to Balmoral Castle in Scotland in 1903. At the tender age of nine, Edward is seen wearing a tartan kilt, complete with a sporran and socks adorned with garters. The future king's expression radiates excitement and curiosity as he poses confidently for the camera. Edward, born on June 23, 1894, was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary. Balmoral Castle, located in the Scottish Highlands, was a beloved retreat for the British royal family, providing them with a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of London. The family's annual summer stay at Balmoral was a cherished tradition, allowing them to connect with their Scottish heritage and enjoy the breathtaking natural beauty of the Scottish landscape. During this time, young Prince Edward was introduced to the rich tapestry of Scottish culture, including its traditional dress. The kilt, a symbol of Scottish identity, has been a part of the country's history for centuries. Worn by both men and boys, the kilt is made of a woolen fabric pleated to form a distinctive pattern. The sporran, a pouch worn suspended from a belt, is an essential accessory that holds various personal items. This photograph, taken in 1903, offers a captivating glimpse into the early life of Edward VIII, showcasing his connection to his Scottish heritage and the traditions that shaped his upbringing. As the monarch who would later abdicate the throne in 1936, Edward's life was marked by controversy and change. However, this image serves as a poignant reminder of his youth and the simple joys of a royal childhood spent in the Scottish Highlands.
