EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as the Prince of Wales stands alongside his orderly aboard HMS Renown. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this image showcases the royalty and grandeur associated with British history. The Prince of Wales, later known as Edward VIII, is seen wearing a uniform while his orderly stands beside him. The ship serves as a backdrop to their portrait, emphasizing their connection to maritime travel and adventure. Intriguingly, amidst their regal surroundings, there is evidence of leisure and sport. The Prince holds a squash racquet while dressed in shorts and a jumper - perhaps indicating that even members of royalty enjoy physical activity for exercise and fitness. This photograph offers us a glimpse into both the public persona of the royal family during this time period and also highlights aspects of daily life on board HMS Renown. It speaks to the importance placed on maintaining physical health through sports activities even amidst royal duties. Preserved within private collections for many years, this image now allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to the 1920s when Britain's influence reached far beyond its shores aboard majestic vessels like HMS Renown.
