EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Royal Retreat: Cambridge Cottage, Kew, 1866 - The Residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Birthplace of Princess Mary Adelaide Cambridge Cottage, nestled in the picturesque gardens of Kew, holds a significant place in British royal history. This charming cottage, dating back to the mid-18th century, served as the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, and Princess Augusta of Hesse and by Rhine, from 1838. The couple had returned to England from Hanover following the death of King William IV. The tranquil setting of Cambridge Cottage became the backdrop for a pivotal moment in royal history. In May 1866, their daughter, Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, was born within its walls. This princess would later marry Prince Francis, Duke of Teck, and become the mother of Queen Mary, the consort of King George V. The cottage, with its red-brick facade and quaint gardens, stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the British monarchy. Its historical significance extends beyond its architectural charm, as it holds the story of a royal family's return to England and the birth of a future queen. This photograph, taken in 1866, captures the essence of Cambridge Cottage during a time when it was a cherished residence for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the birthplace of their daughter, Princess Mary Adelaide. The image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the history of the royal family and the enduring legacy of Cambridge Cottage in Kew.
