A Royal Visit to Eel Pie Island: Duke and Duchess of York Take the Hotel Ferry Punt during the Annual Regatta, 1923 This evocative photograph captures a memorable moment in the history of Eel Pie Island on the River Thames, as the Duke and Duchess of York, Albert, and Elizabeth, make a visit during the annual regatta in 1923. The couple, who were the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, were known for their love of the outdoors and water sports, making this excursion a fitting engagement for their leisure time. As they cross the River Thames, the Duke and Duchess of York board the quaint Hotel Ferry punt, skillfully maneuvered by a ferryman. The Island Hotel, located on Eel Pie Island, was a popular destination for Londoners seeking a respite from the city's hustle and bustle. The annual regatta was an essential event for the local community, attracting visitors from far and wide to enjoy the picturesque surroundings and competitive spirit. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, were marked by a sense of excitement and liberation, and this photograph encapsulates the carefree spirit of the era. The Duke and Duchess, dressed in fashionable attire, appear relaxed and joyful as they embark on their journey, leaving behind the formalities of royal life for a day. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing a significant moment in the history of Eel Pie Island and the lives of the Duke and Duchess of York.
