EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in transportation history as the future King Edward VII, also known as the Prince of Wales, steps into the world of motoring for the very first time on 14 July 1900. The Prince, who would later ascend to the British throne in 1901, is seen here at Highcliffe Castle in Hampshire, England, alongside John Walter Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu. Montagu, a renowned promoter of motoring, is believed to have played a significant role in introducing the Prince to the thrilling new technology. The Prince's curiosity is palpable as he climbs into the driver's seat of the motorcar, marking a turning point in the monarchy's relationship with this emerging mode of transport. This photograph is not only a testament to the Prince's adventurous spirit but also a fascinating glimpse into the early days of motoring history.
