EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique moment in time, as Dr W.G. Grace, the legendary English cricketer, and HRH The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, share a light-hearted moment during the summer of 1911. Dr Grace, affectionately known as 'W.G.' or 'Will' to cricket fans, is considered one of the greatest cricketers of all time. His innovative style of play and exceptional skills revolutionized the game, making him a superstar and a crowd favorite. The Prince of Wales, Edward, is seen here in his full regalia, wearing a boater hat and carrying a cane, reflecting his status as a member of the British royalty. This photograph was likely taken soon after his investiture as Prince of Wales on July 13, 1911. The image showcases the camaraderie between the two men, as they share a laugh and a moment of respite from their respective responsibilities. Dr Grace's enduring legacy in cricket and the Prince of Wales's status as a beloved figure in British history make this photograph a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image is a testament to the power of sport to bring people together, regardless of their social standing or position in society.
