EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and dashing Prince Alfred Ernest Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, also known as England's Royal Sailor, in his full naval uniform of the 1850s. Born on August 6, 1844, as the second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Prince Alfred was educated in the traditions of the British Royal Navy and displayed a keen interest in seafaring from an early age. The intricately woven silk jacquard fabric of his uniform, adorned with gold braid and navy blue and white stripes, reflects the grandeur and prestige of the Royal Navy during the Victorian era. The peaked cap, complete with the royal monogram, sits perfectly atop his dark locks, while the bowtie and bow tie add a touch of elegance to his naval attire. Holding a telescope in his right hand, the future Duke of Edinburgh exudes an air of authority and determination, embodying the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined the age. With a confident and determined gaze, he stands before us as a symbol of the British monarchy's deep-rooted connection to the sea and its naval traditions. This photograph, taken in the 1850s, offers a rare glimpse into the life of a young prince who would go on to serve in the Royal Navy and later become the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Duke of Edinburgh. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to an age of grandeur, tradition, and naval prowess.
