Wearing the Balmoral Tartan, Balmoral, 1936 (1937) - A Glimpse into Royal Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a momentous event in British history - the coronation of King George VI. The image showcases Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VIII before abdicating the throne, dressed in the iconic Balmoral Tartan. Taken at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, this portrait exudes regality and tradition. The Duke of Windsor stands tall and proud against the backdrop of an exquisite Scottish landscape. His attire is a testament to his connection with his homeland; he wears a kilt made from the famous Balmoral Tartan fabric. This choice not only reflects his love for Scotland but also pays homage to his role as Duke of York. Gordon Beckles skillfully captured this historic moment for posterity's sake. Published in the Coronation Souvenir Book 1937 by Daily Express London, this photograph immortalizes an important chapter in British monarchy. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, it serves as a metaphorical window into a bygone era - one filled with grandeur and royal lineage. It reminds us that even amidst political turmoil and changing times, traditions remain steadfast pillars that connect generations. This print is more than just an artistic portrayal; it represents heritage and continuity within Britain's rich cultural tapestry. It allows us to glimpse into the lives of those who shaped our nation's history while honoring their legacy for future generations to appreciate and cherish forever.
