EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous visit by Prince Charles to the British Gurkha Headquarters in Dharan, Nepal. The Prince is seen donning his distinguished Colonel-in-Chief uniform as he observes the rigorous selection process of Gurkhas from civilian life. Amidst the scene, our attention is drawn to an entrant who stands stripped to the waist, proudly displaying the number 007 painted on his chest. It is impossible not to smile along with Prince Charles when he notices this Nepalese entrant's playful nod to James Bond. A lighthearted moment amidst a serious undertaking. Taken in December 1980 during one of his overseas tours, this image captures both royalty and tradition intertwining harmoniously. As a symbol of respect and admiration for these brave warriors, Prince Charles' presence signifies the enduring bond between Britain and Nepal. The rich historical context of this photograph transports us back to a defining era - the vibrant 1980s - where international relations were forged through diplomatic visits such as these. Kent Gavin skillfully immortalizes this significant event through his lens, allowing us access into an intimate glimpse of royal engagements abroad. This remarkable print serves as a testament not only to Prince Charles' commitment but also pays homage to the extraordinary spirit and dedication embodied by those who serve in the esteemed Gurkha regiment.
