EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Relaxation during the Royal Tour of 1920: Prince Edward, later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, is seen enjoying a leisurely moment while tarpon fishing at Colon during his historic tour of the British Empire. In this candid photograph, the Prince, dressed in a white shirt and shorts, sits comfortably on the knee of his friend and cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten, as they share a laugh. Two other friends from HMS Renown, the Royal Navy ship accompanying the tour, look on with amusement as the Prince takes a puff from his pipe. The Prince's easy smile and relaxed posture convey a sense of happiness and contentment, offering a rare glimpse into the personal side of the future monarch. The photograph, taken in 1920, captures a moment of respite during the Prince's extensive tour of the Empire, which saw him travel to various parts of the world to strengthen British connections and promote goodwill. This evocative portrait, with its sun-drenched setting and informal atmosphere, offers a fascinating insight into the life of a young Prince on tour, and is a testament to the enduring allure of royal history.
