EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Edward, Prince of Wales, is seen in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa during his visit in 1928. The Prince, who would later become King Edward VIII, exudes an air of regal sophistication as he stares intently into the distance, his frowning expression adding an intriguing layer of mystery. Dressed in a stylish bowtie and jacket, the Prince cuts a dashing figure against the backdrop of the African landscape. The year was 1928, and the 20s were in full swing. The Prince's visit to Kenya was part of a larger tour of British colonies in Africa, aimed at strengthening the British Empire's presence and maintaining the loyalty of its subjects. As a VIP and a member of the British royalty, the Prince was greeted with great fanfare and adoration during his travels. Despite the festivities, the Prince's expression in this photograph suggests a more introspective moment. Perhaps he was reflecting on the political and social complexities of colonial rule, or perhaps he was simply taking in the breathtaking beauty of the African landscape. Whatever the reason, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of a Prince who would later make history as the only monarch to voluntarily abdicate the throne. The On Call in Africa Collection, from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures this moment in history with stunning clarity and detail, allowing us to step back in time and witness a pivotal moment in the life of a future King.
