EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a young and energetic Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor), leading the Grenadier Guards during their inspection in London's Horse Guards Parade in 1914. Edward, born in 1894, was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary. He was known for his charisma, popularity, and military prowess, making him a beloved figure among the British people. The year 1914 marked the beginning of World War I, and the Prince, who served as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, was an active participant in the military efforts. His leadership skills were put to the test during this time, and his dedication to the cause was unwavering. In this photograph, the Prince of Wales is seen wearing the full uniform of the Grenadier Guards, complete with bearskin hat and crimson tunic. He is surrounded by his men, all of whom appear focused and determined. The Prince's strong presence and confident demeanor are evident, as he leads the way with a determined look in his eyes. The image is a poignant reminder of a time when the monarchy played a more active role in the military, and the connection between the royal family and the British people was stronger than ever. The Prince's leadership during this period helped to boost morale and inspire the troops, making him an integral part of the country's history during a time of great turmoil and change.
