EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a tender moment in the early childhood of two future monarchs: Victoria, Princess Royal, aged 17 months, and her younger brother, Prince Albert Edward, later known as King Edward VII, aged 5 months. The siblings are depicted in formal attire, Victoria in a frilly white dress and Edward in a velvet suit, sitting on a plush chair against a plain backdrop. Their serious expressions and steady gazes hint at the weighty responsibilities that awaited them as the heirs to the British throne. The photograph was published in "The Queen's Resolve and Her Doubly Royal Reign of Sixty Years" by Reverend Charles Bullock in 1897. Bullock's book commemorated Queen Victoria's long and momentous reign, which began when she ascended to the throne at the tender age of 18 in 1837. The image of the young Princess Royal and Prince of Wales is a testament to the strong familial bonds that sustained the monarchy during Victoria's reign. The photograph is believed to have been taken around 1841, a time when Victoria and Albert were living at Buckingham Palace with their mother, the Duchess of Kent, and their maternal grandmother, the Dowager Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Empress Frederick. The family was surrounded by a large household of servants, governesses, and tutors, all dedicated to ensuring the children received a proper education and upbringing. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the early lives of two of the most influential monarchs in British history. Victoria's reign saw significant political and social changes, including the expansion of the British Empire and the Industrial Revolution. Edward's reign, which began in 1901, was marked by a period of peace and prosperity, known as the Edwardian Era. The bond between these two siblings, formed in their early childhood, played a crucial role in shaping the course of British history.
