EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and historic photograph, Princess Cecilie of Greece, one of the four sisters of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is seen on her wedding day as she exchanges vows with Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus of Hesse & by Rhine on February 2, 1931, at the Schlosskirche in Darmstadt, Germany. The bride, dressed in a beautiful white gown and veil, gazes lovingly at her groom, who wears the traditional Hessian military uniform. The couple's union marked the joining of two prominent European royal families, with Cecilie being the daughter of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg, and Georg Donatus being the eldest son of Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine. The wedding ceremony was a grand affair, attended by numerous European royals and dignitaries. The couple's union was significant not only for its royal significance but also for its political implications, as the Hessian and Greek royal families had a long and complex history. The marriage was also a happy moment for Cecilie's brother, Prince Philip, who was deeply attached to his sisters and was reportedly thrilled about the union. The photograph captures the joy and excitement of the moment, with the couple surrounded by their happy families and friends. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of European royal weddings and the enduring bonds between royal families. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of the love and commitment shared by Princess Cecilie and Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus on their wedding day in 1931.
