EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking front cover image of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was created by the skilled hand of amateur artist Dr. Stephen Ward during a private sitting at Buckingham Palace in 1961, exclusively granted to the Illustrated London News. At the time, Ward was a regular contributor to the publication, providing illustrations for their popular Window on the World feature. His charcoal sketches of high-profile figures, including the Duke, were highly regarded for their captivating realism and intimate portrayal. Two years later, however, Ward's name would be forever linked to scandal, as he became a central figure in the Profumo Affair. This political and social embarrassment, which involved allegations of immorality and national security breaches, cast a dark shadow over the reputations of those associated with Ward, including the Duke and other celebrities. Despite the subsequent notoriety, this 1961 portrait of Prince Philip stands as a testament to Ward's artistic talent and the unique access he was granted to the royal family during this period. The image captures the Duke in a thoughtful and introspective moment, showcasing his regal presence and the subtle nuances of his expression. The photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a future monarch during a time of great change and intrigue in British history.
