Description

Prince Charles becomes a Red Crow chief

Christmas and New year card from 1977, measures 9.5 x 7.25 open, featuring an affixed color photo of Charles wearing a Native American headdress, face paint, and ceremonial shirt, signed and inscribed in blue ink to his grandmother, Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, “Darling Granny…and very much love from your ancient, red Indian grandson, Charles,” adding below his picture, “Chief Red Crow—1977!” In very fine condition. The Prince of Wales became the honorary Red Crow Blood Chief of the Blackfeet nation at a Red Indian gathering during a visit to Alberta, Canada on July 1, 1977. An entirely unusual, if not politically incorrect, inscription to the Queen Mother. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
