"Wettin Edward VII: A Glimpse into the Reign of Britain's King" In the world of horse racing, The Princes Second Derby in 1900 witnessed an exciting victory as Diamond Jubilee crossed the finish line first. This triumph set the stage for Edward VII's ascension to the throne in 1901, marking his first act of state on January 24th. As he stepped into his new role, a captivating image captured him alongside Princess Alexandra at the Oxford Commemoration back in 1863. Edward VII's adventurous spirit took him beyond British shores, including a visit to India in 1876. During this remarkable journey, an awe-inspiring moment occurred when a tiger charged towards The Prince's Elephant. Such daring encounters showcased his courage and resilience. Love also played a significant role in Edward VII's life as he married Princess Alexandra of Denmark at Windsor Castle in 1863. Their union was celebrated with grandeur and elegance befitting royalty. Queen Alexandra stood by her husband throughout their reign, even attending King Edward VIIs First Parliament opening ceremony together in 1901. Together they radiated regal grace and commanded respect from all who beheld them. Family bonds were cherished by Edward VII as well; he shared precious moments with his son George (Prince of Wales) and grandson Prince Edward captured beautifully in photographs from both 1910 and later published again in1935. Beyond official duties, glimpses into more casual occasions revealed another side to this monarch. In one instance, we see him exploring Messrs Doultons Pottery Works at Lambeth during a visit there back in1886 - showcasing his appreciation for craftsmanship outside royal circles. Lastly, we catch sight of young Prince Albert (later known as King George V), along with other members of what would become known as "The Prince of Wales group" back on October13th, 1860 - offering a glimpse into the early years of Edward VII's life.
