EDITORS COMMENTS
Major Fruity Metcalfe, a beloved and inseparable friend of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, is depicted in this charming caricature by renowned British artist Sylvester Hynes. Drawn for The Bystander magazine's Celebrities in Cameo series, penned by Charles Gay, this image captures Major Metcalfe in his element at the races. The Major, dressed in his top hat and morning dress, exudes an air of sophistication and excitement as he watches the horse race intently. Born on January 16, 1887, Major Edward Dudley Metcalfe MVO MC, affectionately known as "Fruity," was an essential figure in the Prince's inner circle. His close relationship with the future monarch began during their military service in India and continued throughout the Prince's reign and abdication. Metcalfe's presence at the races was a common sight, and his friendship with the Prince was a topic of great interest in society circles. This caricature, created in 1933, captures the essence of their camaraderie and the excitement of the racing scene. As an equerry, Major Metcalfe was responsible for attending to the Prince's personal needs and managing his household. His unwavering loyalty and dedication to the Prince were evident in his tireless efforts to ensure the monarch's comfort and happiness. This portrait offers a glimpse into the world of the Prince of Wales and his inner circle, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of these historical figures. The caricature's whimsical style and attention to detail make it a treasured piece of social and royal history.
