EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Prince Andrew of Greece, the father of the current Duke of Edinburgh, is seen enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the Cannes Film Festival in 1936. Surrounded by the glamour and sophistication of the French Riviera, the Prince appears relaxed and at ease in the company of artists Margot Hambling and Gilbert Beale, as well as David Townsend. Prince Andrew's presence in Cannes marked the final years of his life, following his separation from his wife, Princess Alice, and his subsequent exile from Greece. After being ousted from his native country during a period of political turmoil, the Prince found refuge in the sun-drenched shores of the French Riviera. The yacht belonging to Gilbert Beale, a wealthy British businessman, was moored in Cannes Harbour during the festival, providing a luxurious retreat for the Prince and his companions. The image captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie amidst the bustling festival scene, with the Prince's regal bearing and elegant attire standing out against the backdrop of the bustling harbor. Tragically, Prince Andrew's idyllic existence on the French Riviera was short-lived. He passed away at the prestigious Hotel Metropole in Monte Carlo in 1944, leaving behind a complex legacy as a member of the Greek royal family and a prominent figure in European society. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the glamour and intrigue of the Cannes Film Festival intersected with the personal lives of the European aristocracy.
