Westward with the Prince of Wales
Produced by Al Haines
"Westward with the Prince of Wales" by W. Douglas Newton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details a cross-Canada tour by train taken in 1919 by Edward VIII, the British Prince of Wales, and captures the backdrop of early post-war Canada through the eyes of a British journalist who served as the Prince's authorized correspondent. The narrative likely explores themes of royal duty, public affection, and the spirit of post-war Canada as the Prince interacts with various communities during his travels. At the start of the book, the author introduces the journey aboard the cruiser "Dauntless" to Newfoundland, where the Prince's arrival is met with warm, spontaneous enthusiasm from the locals, contradicting earlier expectations of a muted reception. The narrative describes the fascinating scenes of Newfoundland, including the vibrant, unique culture and life of its inhabitants, as well as the majestic landscapes they encounter. The Prince's engagement with both his shipmates and the local people highlights his authentic curiosity and down-to-earth demeanor, presenting a contrast to the expected formalities associated with royal visits. The opening not only sets the stage for the Prince's adventures but also paints a vivid picture of a nation eager for connection and celebration after the hardships of war.
