Covers Grenadier Guards Magazines Tatler Viii Windsor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking cover of The Tatler magazine, dated 1916, features a captivating portrait of the Prince of Wales, who would later become King Edward VIII and then the Duke of Windsor. At the time of this photograph, the Prince served in the British Army during World War I with the Grenadier Guards. Despite his high-ranking position, he was carefully kept away from the front lines, stationed instead at Staff Headquarters. The Prince's military service was not without merit, however. He was awarded the Military Cross for his exceptional service in the field. The image showcases the Prince in his full military uniform, exuding confidence and authority. The background of the cover is adorned with intricate, Art Deco-inspired patterns, adding an elegant and sophisticated touch to the overall design. During the war, the Prince also visited the Italian front, further demonstrating his commitment to the military effort. This cover serves as a fascinating glimpse into the life of a future monarch during a pivotal moment in history. The Prince of Wales' military service, and later abdication, continue to be subjects of great interest and intrigue in the annals of royal and military history.
