EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a royal moment at the International Polo Test Match held at Hurlingham in 1921. The image showcases an assemblage of European and American aristocracy, with the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII and the Duke of Windsor (second from left in the front row), King George V (fourth from the left), Queen Alexandra, Alfonso, King of Spain, and Queen Mary (seated, second from right in the front row) engaging in lively conversation. The Prince of Wales is flanked by the American Ambassador, Colonel George Harvey (behind him, between Princess Mary and Princess Victoria), adding an international flair to the scene. The Princess Royal is also present in the background, behind King George V. The fashionable attire of the royals and aristocrats reflects the elegance and opulence of the 1920s, with women donning intricate hats and long, flowing dresses, and men wearing tailored suits and top hats. This photograph offers a glimpse into the social side of the polo test, where the upper class came together to enjoy a day of sport and camaraderie.
