EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) is seen presenting the Duke of York's Cup to his esteemed cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, following the annual polo match between the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy at Ranelagh in July 1933. The Duke of York, who would ascend to the throne in 1936, is dressed in a smart polo outfit, complete with jodhpurs, boots, and a protective helmet. His expression is serious and focused, as he prepares to award the coveted trophy to the victorious captain of the Navy team. Mountbatten, wearing a crisp white polo shirt and breeches, stands proudly before the Duke, a broad smile on his face as he accepts the award. The two cousins, both members of the British royal family, share a moment of camaraderie and sportsmanship, their bond strengthened by their shared love of the game. The backdrop of the polo field, with its lush green grass and tall trees, adds to the sense of tranquility and elegance, transporting us back to a bygone era of British aristocracy and tradition. The Duke of York's Cup, a symbol of excellence and competition, has been contested between the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy since 1927, reflecting the long-standing rivalry between the two branches of the military. This photograph captures a moment of history, as two distinguished members of the royal family come together to celebrate the spirit of friendly competition and the enduring bonds of family. The year is 1933, and the world is on the brink of change, but for a brief moment, the focus is on the simple pleasures of polo, friendship, and family. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of cherishing the moments that bring us closer together.
