EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of relaxation and camaraderie during the Mediterranean voyage of the British royal brothers, Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) and Prince George, Duke of Kent, in 1932. The brothers are pictured at the iconic Lido beach in Venice, Italy, with their companion, Captain Alistair Mackintosh. Edward and George embarked on a grand tour of Europe in the summer of 1932, aiming to strengthen diplomatic relations and promote British interests abroad. Their visit to Venice was a highlight of their journey, offering a welcome respite from the formalities of state visits. The brothers are seen here enjoying the sunny day at the Lido, dressed in stylish swimwear that was popular during the 1930s. Edward wears a pair of high-waisted shorts and a sleeveless polo shirt, while George dons a pair of briefs and a short-sleeved shirt. Captain Mackintosh, a close friend of the princes, joins them on the beach, adding an air of adventure and excitement to the scene. The trio appears carefree and at ease, basking in the warm Italian sun and enjoying the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. The photograph offers a glimpse into the leisurely lifestyle of the British royals during the 1930s and the fashion trends of the era. It also underscores the close bond between the brothers, who would later be torn apart by the abdication crisis in 1936. This image serves as a poignant reminder of a simpler time in royal history, when the focus was on diplomacy, friendship, and relaxation.
