EDITORS COMMENTS
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, captured in a timeless moment of youth and adventure as he skillfully balances on the deck of a sailboat during his naval training in the late 1930s. The young prince, who would later become the consort of Queen Elizabeth II, is seen in his element as he deftly handles the ropes and navigates the waters. With the sun casting a warm glow over the tranquil port, the scene exudes an air of serenity and determination. Born on the Greek island of Corfu in 1921, Prince Philip was raised in France and Germany before joining the British Royal Navy in 1939. His naval career took him around the world, instilling in him a deep appreciation for the sea and sailing. This passion for the water would remain with him throughout his life, and he continued to sail well into his later years. As the consort of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip supported her reign and represented the monarchy at numerous engagements both at home and abroad. His naval background and adventurous spirit endeared him to the public, and he was known for his dedication to duty and his commitment to various charitable causes. This evocative portrait, taken in the late 1930s, offers a glimpse into the young life of a future monarch and consort, as he hones his sailing skills and embraces the freedom of the open sea.
