EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as the Prince of Wales embarks on his second tour of the empire, visiting Honolulu, Hawaii. Dated 26th May 1920, the image shows the Prince seated in a traditional Hawaiian canoe, eagerly learning surf-riding from none other than Duke Kahanamoku.
The scene is one of cultural exchange and adventure, with the future King Edward VIII immersing himself in the local customs and traditions of Hawaii. Duke Kahanamoku, a legendary figure in surfing history and an Olympic gold medalist swimmer, graciously imparts his knowledge to the royal visitor.
The juxtaposition of royalty and athleticism is striking in this photograph. The Prince's expression reflects both concentration and excitement as he navigates the waters under Duke Kahanamoku's guidance. The vibrant backdrop of Honolulu adds to the allure of this snapshot in time.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a bygone era when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of global relations. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege can find joy and enlightenment through new experiences and connections with people from different walks of life.
