EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bill Kennedy, we witness a fascinating encounter between Prince Charles and three rebellious punks during a game of polo in Windsor on the 27th of May, 1979. The image beautifully encapsulates the collision of two distinct worlds - that of royalty and punk subculture. The young punks, Anne Wobble (17), Tony Waterman (17), and Phil Sick (19), boldly approached the Prince to extend an invitation to their rock concert later that night. Their audacity is palpable as they stand before His Royal Highness with their unique fashion choices reflecting the vibrant spirit of punk culture prevalent in the late 1970s. Prince Charles appears both intrigued and amused by these unconventional visitors. This meeting serves as a testament to his willingness to engage with different facets of society, even those considered outside traditional norms. It also highlights his ability to bridge gaps between seemingly disparate groups. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes an era defined by rebellion, individuality, and cultural shifts. It reminds us that youth movements have always played a vital role in shaping our society's evolution. Bill Kennedy's expertly composed image transports us back to this pivotal moment where royalty met counterculture – an unforgettable intersection where tradition meets rebellion and curiosity sparks connection.
