EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a passionate golfer in the 1930s. Titled "Ardent Golfer, 1937" it features none other than King Edward VIII himself participating in the Parliamentary Golf Handicap of 1936. The image is taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles and published by Daily Express. Dressed impeccably in checkered clothing, King Edward VIII exudes both elegance and determination as he stands on the golf course. His love for this sport is evident through his focused gaze and confident stance, showcasing his dedication to mastering every swing. Surrounded by a group of fellow golfers, including HRH The Duke of Windsor (formerly known as Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor), this snapshot offers a glimpse into an eventful day filled with camaraderie and friendly competition. The significance of this photograph extends beyond its artistic value; it serves as a historical testament to British royalty's involvement in sports during that era. It also highlights the close bond between King Edward VIII and his wife Queen Elizabeth (then known as Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes Lyon), who would later become Queen Consort to King George VI. As we admire this remarkable piece from our heritage collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us back to a time when even kings found solace on the green fairways.
