When the King shot the Shooters, Southwold, 1932 (1937)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment of casual intrigue during a day in Southwold, Suffolk in 1932. The man behind the camera is none other than His Majesty King George VI himself, showcasing his lesser-known passion for photography. Dressed casually in a flat cap and with an interested smile on his face, the Duke of York stands among a group of men outside. Holding his camera with confidence, he takes on the role of both monarch and paparazzi as he captures this candid scene. The image reflects not only the artistic side of royalty but also highlights their connection to everyday life. It offers us a glimpse into an era when kings were not just figures of authority but individuals who shared common interests with their subjects. Published in the Coronation Souvenir Book edited by Gordon Beckles in 1937, this photograph showcases King George VI's talent beyond his royal duties. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege can find joy and fulfillment through creative expression. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us that art knows no boundaries or titles – it is universal and can be found within each one of us.
