EDITORS COMMENTS
The Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII, takes a moment to enjoy his pipe while spectating at the Open Golf Championship in St Andrews during the 1930s. Dressed impeccably in his royal attire and sporting a stylish hat, the prince exudes an air of sophistication and leisure as he indulges in this timeless pastime. This photograph captures a glimpse into the life of British royalty during this era. The image showcases not only the prince's love for sports but also his ability to effortlessly blend into any social setting. As he watches the golfers on the course with great interest, it is evident that he finds joy in being part of such events. The print itself comes from 'George V and Edward VIII: A Royal Souvenir, ' a commemorative book published following King George V's passing and Edward VIII's ascension to the throne. It serves as a historical memento of an important time within Britain's monarchy. With its monochrome aesthetic, this print evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when men like Prince Edward enjoyed their leisurely pursuits amidst grandeur and elegance. It offers us a rare glimpse into the private life of one who would become king, reminding us that even those born into privilege can find solace in simple pleasures.
