EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from November 1908, captured by acclaimed photographer Terry Parker, we find a poignant moment in the lives of two future monarchs of the British Empire: Prince George, Duke of York, later King George V, and his eldest son, Prince Edward, Duke of Wales, later King Edward VIII. Both are seen in their naval uniforms, proudly representing their roles as cadets in the Royal Navy. The image exudes the spirit of the Edwardian era, with its formal attire, pristine white collars, and polished shoes. The Prince of Wales, then aged 24, is shown on the left, his gaze fixed on the camera with a determined expression. His father, Prince George, stands to his right, a proud fatherly smile playing on his lips as he looks at his son. Both men display the insignia of their respective ranks on their chests, signifying their dedication to the naval service. The photograph was taken during a time when the British Royal Family placed great importance on the naval tradition. Both Prince George and his son had a deep connection to the sea, with the Prince of Wales having served in the Mediterranean Fleet and the Duke of York having been appointed First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911. This image serves as a testament to the strong bond between father and son, as well as their commitment to their country and its naval forces. It is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, one that continues to captivate history enthusiasts and photographic aficionados alike.
