EDITORS COMMENTS
This Tatler cover from 1933 showcases an iconic moment in the annals of British society and sports history. The Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, is depicted alongside the formidable Lady Astor at Walton Heath golf course. The image captures the essence of a spirited competition, as the Prince had just defeated Lady Astor in the semi-final tie of the Parliamentary Gold Handicap. Lady Astor, known for her sharp wit and independent spirit, was a prominent figure in British society and politics. She was the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons and was a regular fixture on the social scene. The Prince of Wales, on the other hand, was the heir to the British throne and a renowned sportsman, particularly in golf. The fashionable attire of the Prince and Lady Astor adds to the allure of the image. The Prince is dressed in a smart golfing outfit, complete with plus fours, a sweater, and a flat cap. Lady Astor, an early advocate of women's golf, is seen wearing a stylish golfing ensemble, including a long-sleeved blouse, a pleated skirt, and a stylish hat. The setting of Walton Heath golf course, with its lush greens and picturesque surroundings, provides the perfect backdrop for this iconic photograph. The image encapsulates the spirit of competition, fashion, and society in 1930s Britain, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of golf, fashion, or British society.
