EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a significant moment in the life of Prince Edward, later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, as he is invested as a Knight of the Garter at Windsor Castle in England. The Prince, dressed in full formal regalia, including a large plume of white feathers, leaves St. George's Chapel preceded by the Duke of Connaught and King Manuel II of Portugal. The investiture ceremony, an ancient and solemn ritual, is an important milestone in the life of a British monarch, symbolizing their commitment to the Order of the Garter and the monarchy. The Prince's investment took place on June 14, 1937, and marks a pivotal point in his reign before his abdication the following year. The image showcases the grandeur and formalities of royal ceremonies, with the Prince receiving the attention of soldiers lining the staircase as he makes his way down from the chapel. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the British monarchy and the traditions that continue to shape it.
