The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII, then Duke of Windsor) pictured at Finse on the Bergen Railway in Norway, where he was on skis for eight hours a day, 'becoming an expert ski-runner and out-doing his companions in endurance,' according to a report in The Sketch. The prince was on a visit to his aunt, Queen Maud of Norway (and King Haakon).
