It was a wind-and-the-rain send off for Prince Philip when he left London Airport for his world tour. The Queen and Princess Anne held on to their hats as the wind blew, but the Duke carried his in his hand and walked bareheaded to the Comet IV Jet liner which was waiting to take him to India. Princess Margaret follows under an umbrella. The Duke will cover 19,700 miles by air and 16,300 miles on the Royal Yacht Britannia, which he will board at Rangoon. He will be away for three months. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a moment frozen in time - a departure filled with both grandeur and adversity. As Prince Philip bids farewell to London Airport amidst gusts of wind and pouring raindrops, one can't help but admire his unyielding spirit. The image captures not only the resilience of royalty but also showcases the contrasting reactions of those present. While Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Anne clutch onto their hats tightly against nature's forces, Prince Philip confidently carries his hat in hand without fear or hesitation. Princess Margaret gracefully walks behind them sheltered beneath an elegant umbrella – her presence adding an aura of sophistication to this remarkable scene. This photograph symbolizes more than just a royal departure; it represents determination in the face of challenges that lie ahead during this extensive world tour spanning thousands of miles by air and sea.
