EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Prince Andrew of Greece, the father of the Duke of Edinburgh, is seen enjoying a leisurely moment with Grand Duke Dmitri of Russia at Monte Carlo Beach on the French Riviera. The image, taken in 1932, depicts the two royals lounging poolside, soaking up the sun and the vibrant atmosphere of the South of France. Prince Andrew, a member of the Greek royal family, spent the final years of his life in exile on the French Riviera. He had been forced to leave Greece following a military coup in 1922, which led to the abolition of the Greek monarchy. The French Riviera, with its glamour and sophistication, became a popular refuge for many European exiles during this period. Joining Prince Andrew in this idyllic setting is Grand Duke Dmitri, a member of the Russian imperial family. Like Prince Andrew, Grand Duke Dmitri was also in exile, having been forced to flee Russia following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. The two royals, both with rich and complex histories, found solace and companionship in each other and in the beauty of the French Riviera. The image captures a sense of tranquility and relaxation, with the two men dressed in swimsuits and lounging on chaise longues. They are surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the lush greenery of the Monte Carlo gardens. The pool, with its blue tiles and elegant design, adds to the overall sense of elegance and refinement. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the French Riviera was a haven for European nobility and exiles seeking refuge from the political upheavals of the time. It also serves as a testament to the enduring friendship between two remarkable figures of European royalty. Prince Andrew died at the Hotel Metropole in Monte Carlo in 1944, leaving behind a legacy as a beloved member of the Greek royal family and a symbol of the rich history and culture of Europe.
