EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, take a moment of respite from their royal engagements during their tour of East Africa in 1924. The image captures the couple enjoying a tranquil tea break at the Mombasa Sports Club in Kenya. The Duke and Duchess, dressed in elegant attire, sit at an outdoor table adorned with fine china and silverware. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. A waiter, dressed in the uniform of the Mombasa Sports Club, attends to their needs, pouring tea into their cups and offering a selection of cakes and sandwiches. The Duke and Duchess of York's visit to Mombasa marked a special occasion in the history of the British monarchy. Their tour of East Africa was the first official royal visit to the region, and it was an opportunity for the couple to connect with the local people and show their support for the British colonial administration. The Mombasa Sports Club, founded in 1903, was a popular venue for British expatriates and their families living in Kenya. The club offered a range of facilities, including a golf course, tennis courts, and a swimming pool, making it an ideal location for the royal couple to relax and unwind during their busy tour. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Duke and Duchess of York during their visit to Mombasa in the 1920s. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural connections between the United Kingdom and Kenya, and it showcases the elegance and refinement of the royal family during a bygone era.
