EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print captures a significant moment in the life of Victoria, Princess Royal, as she undergoes her confirmation in the Private Chapel of Windsor Castle in 1856. The Princess, who was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, is seen being confirmed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, John Bird Sumner. The ceremony, which was attended by the Princess's parents and her godfather, King Leopold I of Belgium, marked the sealing of the covenant created in her baptism. The Princess Royal is depicted wearing a rich white silk gown, adorned with five flounces pinked and trimmed with white ribbon and Mechlin lace. The ceremony began with a hymn sung by the gentlemen and boys of the Royal Chapel of St. George. The Archbishop, dressed in his ceremonial robes, is seen gesturing towards the Princess as the confirmation takes place. The event was recorded in the "Illustrated London News" of 1856, which described the scene in detail. The print provides a glimpse into the grandeur and pomp of the Victorian era, as well as the importance of religious ceremonies in the lives of the British monarchy. The presence of King Leopold I of Belgium, who was a close relative of the Royal Family, underscores the international connections and alliances of the time.
