"Wettin: A Royal Legacy Through the Ages" Step into a world of regal elegance and historical significance with Wettin, a name that resonates through time. From The Princes Second Derby in 1900 to Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1911, this captivating lineage has left an indelible mark on history. In the early 1900s, Edward VII took center stage as he triumphed at The Princes Second Derby, riding Diamond Jubilee to victory. This iconic moment captured the essence of his reign - power and prestige personified. But behind every great king stands a queen consort, and Alexandra was no exception. As Queen Consort of King Edward VII, her grace and charm were renowned throughout Great Britain during their reign in the late 19th century. The future King Edward VII himself was not just known for his royal duties but also for his adventurous spirit. Embarking on a tiger hunt during his visit to India in 1876 showcased his fearless nature and love for exploration. Family played an integral role in shaping the legacy of Wettin. On board the royal yacht, we witness moments frozen in time as The Prince and Princess of Wales share cherished memories with their children – a testament to their devotion as parents. Yet it is not only recent generations that have contributed to this remarkable dynasty. Maurice, Elector of Saxony from 1547-1553, added depth to Wettin's rich tapestry centuries before its modern prominence. Duke of Fife's game larder from 1881 showcases another facet of aristocratic life - indulgence and opulence amidst sprawling estates. This glimpse into lavish hunting traditions reveals yet another layer within the grandeur associated with Wettin heritage. Edward VII's ascension marked an important milestone when he performed his first act of state on January 24th, 1901.
