EDITORS COMMENTS
In this and imaginative portrait, we are transported back in time to an alternate history where King Edward VIII (1894-1972) completed his coronation on the intended date, the 8th of May 1936. The monarch, dressed in full regalia, proudly holds the iconic St. Edward's Crown, adorned with precious jewels and ornate gold bands. The aura of majesty and authority emanating from His Majesty's presence is palpable. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the moment, with the King's regal attire, including the red and ermine-trimmed robe and ermine-lined mantle, exuding the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting evoke a sense of history and tradition, making this an exquisite representation of a royal coronation. However, it is essential to remember that this portrait exists only in the realm of imagination. King Edward VIII's reign was, in fact, the shortest in British history, lasting less than a year. He abdicated on December 11, 1936, following public outrage over his desire to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. Despite the alternate reality presented in this portrait, the image remains a fascinating glimpse into the symbolism and grandeur of a royal coronation. The artist's skillful depiction of the King and his regalia serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy.
