Prince Charles with Illya Kuryakin (and James Bond, Ringo Starr, Maria Callas...)

- April 10, 2021

STOCKBRIDGE — As the news of Prince Philip's death spread across the world Friday morning, an illustration of the late Duke of Edinburgh hung silently in the Norman Rockwell Museum. If you've visited the museum recently and can't place the artwork in your mind, you might have missed the Prince in his dashing naval uniform and characteristic head tilt among the many other figures, famous and not, depicted in Rockwell's "The Saturday People." The illustration first appeared in the October 1966 issue of McCall’s magazine and is currently on display at the museum through the end of May.

Along with Prince Philip, the illustration includes: David McCallum, actor (Man From U.N.C.L.E.); John Lindsay, mayor of New York City; Maria Callas, soprano; Sean Connery, actor; Van Cliburn, pianist; Ringo Starr; Nelson Rockefeller, governor of New York; Jonathan Winters, comedian; Leonard Bernstein, composer/conductor; and Tallulah Bankhead, actress.
