EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1931, the Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII and the Duke of Windsor, is seen enjoying a round of golf at the renowned Chiberta golf course in Biarritz, France. The Prince, known for his love of continental Europe and its vibrant social scene, was a frequent visitor to this picturesque resort town during the 1930s. Accompanying the Prince in this image is Lady Victor Paget, formerly Bridget Colebrooke, a talented dress designer. The pair are casually dressed for a day on the links, with the Prince donning a beret, the traditional headwear of the Basque region, which had recently become fashionable among the well-heeled visitors to Biarritz. The Chiberta golf course, with its stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, provided the perfect backdrop for this elegant scene. The Prince's relaxed demeanor and Lady Paget's chic attire reflect the sophisticated and stylish atmosphere of the time. This photograph captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie, offering a glimpse into the glamorous world of the European elite during the 1930s. The Prince's visit to Chiberta golf course in Biarritz was just one of many stops on his extensive travels throughout Europe. His love for the continent and its culture, as well as his penchant for fashionable accessories like the beret, made him a trendsetter and an icon of the era. This evocative image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate audiences and transport us back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement.
