EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness a historic moment as the Duke of York (later known as King George VI) and Prince Henry extend a warm welcome to their brother, the Prince of Wales (later known as King Edward VIII), upon his return to Portsmouth in 1925. The image captures the essence of travel and adventure, with the backdrop of an outdoor setting at Portsmouth quayside. The men stand tall and proud in their royal uniforms, exuding a sense of authority and power. Their swords glisten in the sepia-toned light, symbolizing both strength and honor. As they salute their brother's arrival, one can almost feel the respect emanating from them. The scene is filled with people dressed in period attire, showcasing early 20th-century fashion. Amidst this crowd stands the future Duke of Windsor himself - Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor - looking up with anticipation for his sibling's return. This remarkable print was published by Odhams Press Ltd. , London in 1937 as part of "Our King & Queen and the Royal Princesses". It serves as a timeless reminder not only of familial bonds but also highlights Britain's imperial history during that era. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where duty, loyalty, and tradition were paramount values within royalty.
