EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we find the future King Edward VIII, then the Prince of Wales, immersed in the breathtaking winter landscape of Norway during a visit to his aunt, Queen Maud and King Haakon in 1914. The image above shows the Prince in his element as he expertly skis through the pristine snow at Finse, a popular skiing destination along the Bergen Railway. According to a report in The Sketch, the Prince spent an impressive eight hours a day on his skis, outpacing his companions with his remarkable endurance. The lower photograph portrays a more leisurely moment as the Prince prepares for an excursion to the Hardangerjokel glacier, accompanied by a party of companions. Among them is Major Cadogan, who attended to the Prince during his visit. The group is led by Mr. Andreas Klen, and they are surrounded by curious reindeer, adding an authentic touch to their Arctic adventure. The Prince of Wales, known for his love of adventure and the great outdoors, embraced the Norwegian winter with enthusiasm, showcasing his passion for skiing and his affinity for the company of reindeer. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the Prince's life before he ascended to the throne, providing a captivating snapshot of royal history.
