EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable encounter between a woman and the Prince of Wales. The image captures the moment when Mrs E McGill of Vauxhall fearlessly approaches the Prince, affectionately calling him Teddy. With confidence in her voice, she requests to shake hands with royalty. The unexpected visit takes place at the Oval House Club in Kennington, where the Prince decided to surprise its members. As he graciously engages with other visitors and club officials, Mrs McGill's desire to share this special connection becomes irresistible. Filled with hope for good fortune, Mrs McGill eagerly extends her hand towards the Prince. In response to her request, he warmly accepts and reciprocates her gesture by shaking hands. A genuine smile spreads across both their faces as they exchange this simple yet meaningful act of human connection. This snapshot from January 11th, 1934 offers us a glimpse into an era between two world wars when such encounters were rare but cherished moments for ordinary people like Mrs McGill. Preserved through monochrome photography techniques by TopFoto. co. uk under their History of London collection - Vauxhall/Lambeth section - it serves as a testament to the enduring fascination that British society has always held for its royal family.
