Scope and content
The Duke of Windsor celebrates his 78th birthday on 23 June. These photographers, many of them historic, illustrate a Royal life and career crowded with incident. The man of parts. In 1922, as Prince of Wales, the Duke made an Eastern tour including Japan. At Delhi (left) he wears the uniform of the 35th and 36th Jacobs Horse, of which he was Colonel in Chief, and aboard HMS Renown (centre) he dons a Japanese coolie costume.
