The image offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the future monarch, showcasing his love for tennis and the camaraderie he shared with those close to him. The Duke's elegant attire, complete with a crisp white shirt, striped blazer, and straw hat, adds to the timeless charm of this photograph. This photograph is a testament to the Duke's enduring connection to the game and his commitment to maintaining an active lifestyle, which would later serve him well during his reign as King.
