EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Duchess of Fife, Princess Louise, Princess Royal (1867-1931), eldest daughter of King Edward VII, is seen opening the King Edward VII Labour Tent in Kingsway, Central London, for the Church Army. Accompanying her is her husband, the Duke of Fife (1845-1912), in what would be his last public appearance. The year was 1911, and the Labour Tents were a charitable initiative set up by the Church Army to provide temporary employment for the unemployed during a time of economic hardship. The Duchess, dressed in an elegant outfit and holding a bouquet of roses, is shown in the act of cutting the ribbon to officially open the tent. The Duke, in military uniform, stands proudly by her side, saluting the flag. The atmosphere is one of hope and benevolence, as the aristocracy came together to support the poor and unemployed in their community. The Labour Tents were a significant part of the social fabric of the time, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the historical intersection of the aristocracy and the working class. The image also underscores the importance of charitable organizations and the role they play in providing support during times of need. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the Duchess of Fife's benevolent nature and her commitment to serving her community, as well as the Duke's unwavering support. The roses in her hand and the red, white, and blue flags in the background add a touch of elegance and patriotism to the scene. Overall, this photograph is a powerful representation of the spirit of goodwill and compassion that defined this era in British history.
