EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken at the Marsa Club in Malta in 1950, we find Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and Lord Louis Mountbatten engaged in an animated conversation between polo chukkas. The image captures a moment of camaraderie and friendship between two influential figures of the British royal family. Prince Philip, then a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, was stationed in Malta at the time, serving as the first lieutenant of the HMS Chequers. Mountbatten, who was the Earl Mountbatten of Burma and a cousin of King George VI, was also present on the island, serving as the Governor-General of the Dominion of India. The Marsa Club, located in the Marsa area of Malta, was a popular destination for the British military personnel and their families during their time on the island. Polo was a favorite sport among them, and the Marsa Club was the perfect venue for this aristocratic pastime. In the photograph, both men are dressed in their polo gear, with Prince Philip wearing a navy blue jersey and Mountbatten in a white shirt and beige trousers. They are surrounded by the lush greenery of the polo field, with the sun casting long shadows over the scene. The image exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, transporting us back to a bygone era of royalty and sport. This photograph is a testament to the strong bond between the two men, who were not only related by blood but also shared a deep friendship. Their conversation, filled with laughter and gestures, speaks volumes about their mutual respect and admiration for each other. The image is a precious document of history, capturing a moment in time that is both personal and significant in the annals of the British royal family.
