EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1937, His Royal Highness Prince George, Duke of Kent, is seen warmly greeting his older brother, the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII, in Vienna, Austria. The brothers' meeting marked their first reunion since the Duke of Windsor's controversial abdication from the British throne in December 1936. The Duke of Kent, a younger brother to King Edward VIII, had remained loyal to the monarchy during the crisis, while his brother's decision to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson led to his abdication. The brothers' reunion took place in exile, as both men had been forced to leave Britain following the abdication. The photograph, published in The Sketch magazine, captures the moment of their emotional reunion in the grandeur of the Viennese setting. The brothers are greeted enthusiastically by the Viennese crowd, who shout out Hoch, Edward! (Long live Edward!) and Heil, Kent! (Heil, Kent!), a testament to the enduring popularity of the British monarchy, even amidst the political turmoil of the time. The brothers' meeting in Vienna was a significant moment in the history of the British monarchy, as it marked the beginning of a new chapter for both men in their personal and public lives. The Duke of Windsor would go on to serve as the Governor-General of the Bahamas, while the Duke of Kent continued his duties as a senior member of the British royal family. This photograph, taken in the heart of the 1930s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the personal and political dynamics of the British royal family during a time of great change. The image of the two brothers, united despite their differences, serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and intricacies of royal relationships.
