EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures a cherished moment in Victorian royal history, as Princess Alexandra of Denmark receives a beautiful wedding gift from her future father-in-law, King Leopold I of Belgium. The year is 1863, and the occasion is the marriage of Princess Alexandra to Prince Edward of Wales, who would later become King Edward VII. The three items presented to the princess are a lace lappet, a scarf, and a flounce of a lace dress. These elegant pieces, crafted with intricate Belgian lace, were a symbol of the close relationship between Denmark and Belgium at the time. The lappet, a decorative piece worn at the back of a bride's veil, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the wedding attire. The scarf, with its delicate lace design, would have been a practical and useful gift for the new princess, while the flounce of lace for a dress would have been a stunning addition to any Victorian bridal gown. The presentation of these gifts marked the beginning of a long and fruitful alliance between the Danish and Belgian royal families. The image of Princess Alexandra graciously accepting the gifts from King Leopold I is a testament to the warmth and friendship that existed between the two monarchs and their families. The photograph, with its rich historical significance and timeless beauty, remains an enduring symbol of royal tradition and the power of diplomacy through gift-giving.
