Busby Eighth Horseback Mar17 Salute Salutes Saluting Taking Viii 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
King Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor (1894-1972), is depicted in this striking photograph as he takes a salute while mounted on horseback during an inspection of the troops in 1936. The future King, who reigned from January to December 1936 before abdicating, is shown wearing the uniform of the Royal Horse Guards, a regiment with which he had a strong association. The King's busby hat, adorned with the distinctive plume of ostrich feathers, sits atop his head, adding to the regal and imposing image. The photograph, taken in March 1936, captures the King in his element as he connects with his soldiers, demonstrating his leadership and military prowess. The scene is reminiscent of the grand tradition of British monarchy and the ceremonial pageantry that has long been a part of the institution. This photograph is a testament to King Edward VIII's charisma and his deep connection to the military, making it a valuable addition to any collection of royal or historical imagery.
