EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - Prince Edward and Wallis Warfield Simpson on a skiing holiday in 1936. The image, taken by an English photographer of the 20th century, showcases the couple amidst a backdrop of snowy mountains, exuding both elegance and adventure. Prince Edward, who would later become King of Great Britain and Ireland, is seen standing tall with his skis strapped on, exuding confidence as he prepares to glide down the slopes. Beside him stands Wallis Warfield Simpson, his soon-to-be wife and the woman who caused quite a stir within royal circles due to her status as a divorcee. In this photograph, we witness not only their love for each other but also their shared passion for leisurely pursuits. Despite being under constant public scrutiny as members of royalty, they find solace in moments like these - where they can simply be themselves without any constraints or expectations. The composition beautifully captures their regal presence while showcasing their genuine joy in engaging in this exhilarating sport together. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege seek respite from their responsibilities through activities that bring them happiness. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot from 1936, we are transported back to an era filled with glamour and intrigue.
