EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bill Kennedy, we are transported back to the vibrant and rebellious era of the 1970s. The image portrays an unexpected encounter between Prince Charles and Punk Phill Sick during a thrilling game of polo in Windsor on the 27th of May, 1979. As the Prince of Wales gracefully maneuvers his horse across the field, he is met with an extraordinary sight - a group of punks who have boldly infiltrated this traditionally aristocratic event. Dressed in their distinctive punk fashion, complete with brightly colored hair, torn clothing, and provocative accessories, they exude an air of youthful defiance. Undeterred by convention or social norms, these audacious individuals seize the opportunity to approach royalty directly. With infectious enthusiasm and irreverent charm, they extend an invitation to Prince Charles for a rock concert later that evening. This unexpected collision between two seemingly disparate worlds encapsulates both the clash and fusion of cultures that defined this transformative decade. Kennedy's photograph not only captures a unique moment in time but also serves as a testament to the power of youth subcultures in challenging societal boundaries. It reminds us that even within traditional institutions like royalty and sports events, rebellion can find its voice – inviting us all to question our assumptions about culture and fashion while celebrating individuality and self-expression.
