Edward VII at Monte-Carlo: A Lighthearted Moment of Leisure and Financial Indiscretion This photograph print, titled "EDWARD VII at Monte-Carlo. His companion: 'It's all right for you, if you lose, you just raise the income tax'" by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the lighter side of the life of King Edward VII during his visit to the renowned European gambling hub, Monte-Carlo, in 1904. The image depicts the monarch, dressed in a fashionable suit and top hat, engrossed in a game of cards with an unidentified companion. The companion, with a mischievous grin, playfully teases the king, "It's all right for you, if you lose, you just raise the income tax." This humorous quip highlights the contrasting financial situations of the two men, with the king having the power to increase taxes to offset any losses. Monte-Carlo, located in Monaco, was a popular destination for European royalty and the wealthy elite during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The allure of the casino, combined with the glamour and excitement of the French Riviera, drew high-profile visitors from across Europe. Edward VII, who ruled from 1901 to 1910, was no exception. This photograph print, with its historical significance and charming anecdote, provides an intriguing insight into the personal life of a monarch and the social norms of the time. The playful banter between the king and his companion serves as a reminder of the human side of history, where even the most powerful figures could indulge in moments of leisure and camaraderie.
