The central premise of the book revolves around the 1920 visit of Prince Edward, the Prince of Wales, to the antipodes. Cotes, an experienced journalist and traveler, was part of the entourage that accompanied the prince. Through a series of vivid and engaging anecdotes, he provides readers with a unique perspective on the royal tour, describing the reception by the people, the landscapes, and the local customs of Australia and New Zealand. In addition to covering the events surrounding the royal visit, Cotes delves into the broader socio-political and cultural environment of both countries. His writing blends personal reflection, humor, and insightful observations, giving readers an entertaining and informative account of the era. Down Under with the Prince is an evocative snapshot of early 20th-century travel, royal affairs, and the excitement generated by the British monarchy’s visit to the colonies.
