EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of British-Egyptian relations, as King George V and Queen Mary prepare to receive the Khedive of Egypt at Port Said harbor aboard HMS Medina in 1912. The royal couple had embarked on a grand tour of Asia, having attended the Coronation Durbar in India and Nepal the previous year. The visit to Egypt was a significant stopover on their journey home, and this image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pomp of the occasion. The Royal Standard proudly flies atop the main mast of HMS Medina, a symbol of the British monarchy's authority and presence. The Egyptian Standard, meanwhile, flutters in the breeze on the Customs House, a reminder of the host country's distinct cultural identity. Tugs, laden with the regal barge, are moored nearby, ready to transport the royal party ashore. The visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Egypt was a significant event in the Middle East during the early 20th century. The British monarch's presence in the region underscored the country's strategic importance to the British Empire, which held sway over vast territories in Asia and the Middle East. The photograph offers a fascinating window into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was more interconnected than ever before, and the British monarchy's influence extended far beyond the shores of the United Kingdom. This image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich historical record of the British Empire and its interactions with the world. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when royal visits and diplomatic missions played a critical role in shaping international relations and forging alliances.
