EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, His Royal Highness Prince Andrew of Greece, the father of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is seen enjoying the company of French socialite Mme. Andree de la Bigne and Mr. Gilbert Beale on board Beale's luxurious yacht, the Susannah Jane, anchored off the glamorous French Riviera. Prince Andrew, who spent his later years on the Riviera following his separation from his wife, Princess Alice of Battenberg, is dressed elegantly in a white blazer and straw hat, exuding an air of sophistication and relaxation. Mme. Andree de la Bigne, a striking and charismatic woman, is depicted in a chic summer dress and hat, her radiant smile reflecting the sunny Mediterranean atmosphere. Mr. Gilbert Beale, a wealthy English businessman and yachtsman, stands beside her, looking on with a friendly expression. The Susannah Jane was a popular destination for high society figures during the 1930s, and Prince Andrew's presence on board only added to the allure of the yacht and its guests. The image captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie, as the Prince and his companions enjoy the beauty of the Riviera and each other's company. This photograph, taken in 1938, offers a glimpse into the glamorous and intriguing world of the European aristocracy and social elite during the 1930s. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the French Riviera and the power of friendship and companionship, even in the face of personal challenges and separation. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images available from Mary Evans Picture Library, and is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage photographs, social history, or royal memorabilia.
