Royal Farewell at Brightons Veteran Car Run - A Historic Moment Captured
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a truly royal send-off at the RAC London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Dated 3rd November 1968, the image immortalizes an extraordinary event that unfolded on that day. Surprising everyone present at the Hyde Park starting line-up, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, accompanied by his beloved wife Princess Grace and their son Prince Albert, took part in this prestigious motor race. The atmosphere was electric as they embarked on this thrilling journey through time. However, due to the biting cold weather outside London's boundaries, Princess Grace decided to leave their vintage car and continue her ride in an accompanying Rover vehicle. Undeterred by the chilly conditions, Prince Rainier pressed forward behind the wheel of his remarkable 1903 De Dion Bouton automobile. The picture transports us to Brighton's finish line where participants eagerly awaited their arrival. As engines roared and tires screeched against pavement, anticipation filled the air. Finally crossing that coveted finish line with determination etched across his face, Prince Rainier secured a well-deserved finisher's medal for himself and his timeless machine. This photograph serves as a testament to both automotive history and regal glamour intertwined in one unforgettable moment. It captures not only a significant chapter in racing history but also showcases the enduring spirit of adventure shared by these esteemed members of royalty.
