1894 1972 Dressed Highlanders Seaforth Viii Windsor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VIII and the Duke of Windsor, dressed in the uniform of the Seaforth Highlanders. The image dates back to 1921, when Edward was still the Prince of Wales, and he is shown in all his regal glory, exuding confidence and charisma. The Seaforth Highlanders uniform, with its distinctive tartan and feather bonnet, adds to the traditional and noble appearance of the future monarch. The Seaforth Highlanders, a renowned Scottish infantry regiment, had a long and proud history, and it was an honor for Prince Edward to serve as their Colonel-in-Chief. This uniform was not only a symbol of his military affiliation but also a testament to his deep connection with Scotland and its rich cultural heritage. The photograph was taken in 1921, just a few years before Edward's accession to the throne in 1936. At that time, he was still a bachelor, and the image captures him in his prime, with a youthful and energetic demeanor. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the life of a monarch who would go on to make headlines for his controversial abdication in 1936. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the British monarchy and the rich history of the Seaforth Highlanders. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when tradition and ceremony played a central role in the lives of the ruling elite. The image is a must-have for any collection of royal memorabilia or military history.
