EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Osborne House on the picturesque Isle of Wight. The subject of this image is none other than Prince Edward, a prominent figure in British history. Born in 1894 as the eldest son of Prince George, Duke of York, he was destined for greatness from an early age. As we gaze upon this photograph, we catch a glimpse into his childhood years during the Victorian era. Dressed impeccably and exuding an air of regality even at such a tender age, it is evident that young Prince Edward possessed an innate charm and charisma that would shape his future. The significance of this particular prince lies not only in his lineage but also in his brief reign as King Edward VIII. In 1936, following the passing of his father (George V), he ascended to the throne before making the controversial decision to abdicate later that same year. From then on, he lived out his days as Duke of Windsor alongside Wallis Simpson, whom he famously married. This remarkable print reminds us not only of Prince Edward's extraordinary life but also serves as a testament to Historic England's commitment to preserving our rich heritage through their vast photographic collection. It allows us to connect with history and appreciate the grandeur and elegance associated with royalty during Victorian times.
