EDITORS COMMENTS
The Prince of Wales bids farewell to his beloved parents, King George V and Queen Mary, at Victoria Station in 1920 as he embarks on a momentous journey to Australia. This poignant photograph captures the essence of family love and duty during a time of great change. Dressed impeccably in his naval uniform, the future King Edward VIII stands tall with a sense of purpose. His top hat adds an air of regality to his youthful countenance. As he prepares to board the train that will take him away from home, one can only imagine the mix of emotions swirling within him. The image is frozen in time, evoking nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten. The fur coat worn by Queen Mary reminds us of the elegance and grandeur associated with royalty. The railway station serves as a backdrop symbolizing both departure and new beginnings. This print from FGH Salusbury's book "George V and Edward VIII: A Royal Souvenir" offers us a glimpse into history, capturing a significant moment in the life of this young prince who would later become king. It speaks volumes about duty, sacrifice, and familial bonds that transcend even royal titles. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded that behind every monarch lies a son bidding farewell to his father – stepping into his own destiny while carrying forward the weighty responsibilities bestowed upon him.
