The Prince of Wales/ Duke of Windsor: The Last of the Dandies or the First Subculturalist?

Words: Professor Peter McNeil, Image: Courtesy of Professor Peter McNeil

Windsors in Car with Pug, 1966Excerpt:

The Duke was unconventional because of his subject position. He could break sartorial rules because he was the ruler who no longer had to keep up a pre-ordained appearance. All of this was possible precisely because he was a former king, and similar eccentricity would not necessarily be tolerated in his eyes worn by others born to less privilege. He could break the rules because he was fully aware of history, that monarchs once set fashions, not followed them. ”
