Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was one of the earliest British films shot in Technicolor — the prince's pale complexion reportedly caused exposure headaches for cinematographers.
The same tour later inspired the Prince's notorious 1924 comment that Indian students were 'bound to be disappointed' in self-government — a soundbite that haunted colonial relations for years.
