Caernarvon Formal Invest Invested Parasol Parents Viii
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in the life of Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VIII, as he is invested as the Prince of Wales by his father, King George V, at Caernarvon Castle in Wales on July 13, 1911. The investiture ceremony, an ancient tradition marking the passing of the crown from one monarch to the next, was held under a clear summer sky, with the Prince's mother, Queen Mary, looking on proudly from beneath the shade of a parasol. Edward, dressed in the traditional robes and hat of the Order of the Garter, stands confidently before his parents, his expression a mixture of determination and reverence. The investiture marked the beginning of Edward's formal role as the heir apparent, and the momentous occasion was celebrated with great fanfare throughout the United Kingdom and the British Empire. The scene is one of grandeur and tradition, with the imposing Caernarvon Castle providing a striking backdrop to the investiture. The castle, located in Gwynedd, North Wales, has a rich history dating back to the 13th century and has long been associated with the investiture of the Prince of Wales. The ceremony was a significant event in the lives of the royal family and the British people, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the pomp and pageantry of the occasion.
