EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on the evening of April 22, 1948, at the Public Schools Club on Piccadilly, London, The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, is seen warmly greeting the legendary Australian cricketer, Sir Donald Bradman. The Duke, dressed in formal attire, extends his hand in a friendly gesture as Sir Donald Bradman, with a beaming smile on his face, reaches out to shake it. Sir Donald Bradman, widely regarded as the greatest cricketer of all time, had just arrived in England for his farewell tour, which was to be his last international cricket series. The Duke, who was known for his love of sports and his support for various charities, was a keen cricket fan and had expressed his desire to meet the Australian cricketing legend. The photograph captures a moment of pure sportsmanship and camaraderie between two icons of their respective fields. The Duke's warm and welcoming demeanor is evident in his smile, while Sir Donald Bradman's radiant smile reflects his excitement and pleasure at meeting the Duke. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket and the respect and admiration that The Duke of Edinburgh and Sir Donald Bradman had for each other. The photograph, taken during an evening dinner, is a precious reminder of a bygone era and a significant moment in the history of cricket and British royalty. The Duke's meeting with Sir Donald Bradman was not only a personal milestone but also a symbol of the enduring connection between cricket and the British monarchy.
