EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (1921-2021), in the role of one of the wise men during the Oberufer Nativity play at Gordonstoun School in 1938. The future consort of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted with a solemn expression as he lays his crown before the cradle, symbolizing the humility and reverence of the magi in the Christmas story. Gordonstoun, a renowned Scottish boarding school, played a significant role in shaping Prince Philip's character and education. This theatrical performance was likely part of the school's commitment to fostering well-rounded students through various extracurricular activities. The Nativity play, an essential part of the Christmas tradition, allowed the young prince to explore the arts and engage in the spirit of the holiday season. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the early life of this extraordinary figure, showcasing his youthful charm and the beginning of his journey towards becoming a respected and beloved member of the British monarchy. As the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip dedicated his life to supporting the Queen and the royal family, as well as numerous charitable causes. This enchanting image serves as a reminder of his humble beginnings and the enduring power of the arts to inspire and shape future generations.
