King Edward VIII and the Duke of Kent Embrace Leisure on the Riviera, 1933
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by an English photographer in 1933, we witness a rare moment of relaxation between two prominent figures. King Edward VIII and his younger brother, the Duke of Kent, are seen indulging in a refreshing swim along the picturesque Riviera coastline. Dressed in traditional bathing costumes of that era, these royal siblings appear carefree as they immerse themselves in the crystal-clear waters. The image beautifully captures their camaraderie and showcases a side to them often overshadowed by their regal duties. As heirs to the British throne at that time, it is intriguing to observe them momentarily escaping from their responsibilities and embracing simple pleasures like any ordinary bather. Their presence exudes an air of elegance and sophistication against the backdrop of England's beloved sea. This remarkable print hails from a private collection but was later featured in F. G. H Salusbury's book "George V and Edward VIII: A Royal Souvenir" published by The Daily Express in 1936. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era long gone yet forever etched into history. With its timeless appeal, this photograph not only celebrates British royalty but also encapsulates the allure of seaside culture during that period. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where even kings found solace within nature's embrace.
