EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a melancholic Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VIII, during his visit to the South of France in the late 1930s. The image, taken circa 1936, shows the future monarch dressed in a crisp white suit, standing against the backdrop of sun-kissed palm trees and a clear blue sky. However, the serene scene is disrupted by the presence of a black armband worn by the Prince, a sign of mourning for the recent death of his father, King George V. The South of France, with its warm climate and picturesque landscapes, had long been a favorite retreat for the British royal family. Prince Edward's decision to visit during this time of grief, despite the hot weather, speaks to his deep sense of duty and devotion to his father. The photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection, as the Prince takes a break from the public eye to process the loss of his father and prepare for the responsibilities that lay ahead. The image is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in British history, as the country prepared for the reign of a new monarch. The Prince's visit to the South of France during this time of mourning stands as a testament to his character and his commitment to his family and his people.
