EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of York (later known as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth) during a special occasion at the Mombasa Sports Club in Kenya, East Africa. The year is 1924, and the couple is seen enjoying a delightful tea session amidst the picturesque outdoors. Seated at an elegantly set table, surrounded by lush greenery, the royal pair exudes grace and charm. Their presence adds an air of prestige to this exclusive gathering. Attending to their every need are attentive waiters who serve them with utmost care. The Duke and Duchess appear relaxed as they engage in conversation while savoring their meal. It's evident that they appreciate not only each other's company but also the beauty of their surroundings. This moment captures a serene oasis within bustling Mombasa. As members of British royalty visiting colonial Kenya, this image showcases both cultural exchange and imperial influence. The Duke and Duchess' visit symbolizes connections between nations while highlighting the allure of East Africa as an exotic destination for European elites. Preserved through time by The On Call in Africa Collection from Mary Evans Picture Library, this remarkable photograph serves as a testament to history's unfolding chapters. It allows us to witness firsthand how even moments shared over tea can leave lasting impressions on our collective memory.
