EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Royal Portrait with a difference" offers a delightful glimpse into the early years of Prince Philip, showcasing his playful and competitive spirit. In this endearing image, we see the young Duke of Edinburgh engaging in a biscuit-eating competition during his school days - an unexpected sight for someone of royal lineage. The photograph captures Prince Philip's infectious joy as he sinks his teeth into the challenge before him. His mischievous expression and funny faces reveal a carefree side to the future prince consort that is rarely seen in formal portraits. It is evident that he thoroughly enjoyed this lighthearted contest, as he emerged victorious with triumph written all over his face. These remarkable photo-finish pictures were discovered within the pages of Sir Leslie Hollis' recent biography, "The Captain General". The book sheds light on various aspects of His Royal Highness' life and provides readers with unique insights into his character beyond what is commonly known. This candid snapshot serves as a reminder that even those born into royalty are not exempt from moments of youthful exuberance and friendly competition. It humanizes Prince Philip, allowing us to connect with him on a more personal level. As we admire this charming portrait, it becomes clear that behind every regal figure lies an individual who experiences simple joys just like anyone else – even if they happen to be partaking in biscuit-eating contests!
