EDITORS COMMENTS
In this cartoon from the 1880s, The Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, later King Edward VII (1841-1910), is depicted in a lighthearted conversation with his eldest son, Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, also known as "Eddie" (1864-1892), at Marlborough House in London. The Prince, with a playful expression on his face, listens intently as Eddie asserts, "I think, Sir, I may now be permitted to visit the Theatre without a Parents escort." The Victorian era was a time of strict social norms and rules, particularly regarding the behavior of the royal family. Theatres were considered places of questionable morals, and unaccompanied young royals were not allowed to attend. However, Eddie, eager to assert his independence and growing up, expresses his desire for more freedom. The Prince, with a pipe in hand and a relaxed posture, seems to be considering Eddie's request, perhaps weighing the potential consequences against the importance of granting his son some measure of autonomy. The scene is set against the elegant backdrop of Marlborough House, a symbol of the opulence and grandeur of the British monarchy. This charming caricature, created by the renowned satirical artist, Bryant, captures the essence of the relationship between a father and his son, as well as the tension between tradition and the desire for personal liberty during the Victorian era. The image is a testament to the enduring fascination with the British royal family and their personal lives.
