The Lodge by the Sea, St. Clare, Isle of Wight, 1862: A Secluded Retreat for a Royal Honeymoon This evocative engraving captures the picturesque Lodge by the Sea at St. Clare, Isle of Wight, where the newlywed Prince Louis of Hesse and Princess Alice retired after their marriage in 1862. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, documents the temporary abode of the Royal couple, who were welcomed by Colonel and Lady Katherine Vernon Harcourt at their residence, Spring Vale. The Lodge by the Sea was selected by Queen Victoria for the honeymoon of her eldest daughter, Princess Alice, and her new husband, Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse and by Rhine. The beautiful situation of the Lodge, nestled by the sea, was a significant factor in the Queen's choice. The nineteenth-century print showcases the exterior of the building, with its charming architecture and tranquil surroundings, providing an idyllic backdrop for the newlyweds' secluded getaway. Princess Alice, also known as Alice Maud Mary Wettin, was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Her marriage to Prince Louis, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Hesse and by Rhine, marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life. The image of The Lodge by the Sea serves as a poignant reminder of this significant moment in royal history, offering a glimpse into the past and the romantic traditions of a bygone era.
