EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a piece of history in the form of the Prince of Wales Investiture Medal from 1911. The medal, produced for the investiture event at Carnarvon Castle in North Wales, showcases intricate details on its obverse side. Little did anyone know at the time that the young prince depicted on this medal would later become Edward VIII and eventually abdicate his throne to become the Duke of Windsor. The significance of this medal lies not only in its exquisite design but also in its connection to a pivotal moment in British history. The investiture ceremony marked a turning point for Edward, who would go on to have a tumultuous reign as king before ultimately stepping down from his duties. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when royalty held immense power and influence over society. The import of this historical artifact cannot be understated, serving as a tangible reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten. Through this photograph, we are given a glimpse into the past and invited to reflect on how much has changed since Edward's investiture in 1911. It is truly a treasure trove of history captured within one frame.
