EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Cecilie of Greece, dressed in a elegant white dress and adorned with pearls, poses with her husband, Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse & by Rhine, and their eldest son, Prince Ludwig, in the year 1932. Cecilie, born in 1911, was one of the four older sisters of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, making her a beloved member of the extended British royal family. The Greek-born princess married Georg Donatus in 1931, in a grand ceremony held in Athens, Greece. Their union brought together the Greek and German royal houses, as Georg Donatus was the eldest son of Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse & by Rhine. The couple's first child, Prince Ludwig, was born the following year, adding to the growing Hesse family. In this tender moment, the young family exudes happiness and love as they gaze at their newborn son. The photograph captures the innocence and beauty of Prince Ludwig, who would tragically pass away at the age of six due to an unfortunate accident in 1937. The image is a testament to the rich history of European royalty, showcasing the close bond between a mother, father, and their infant son. The elegant attire and refined setting further emphasize the regal nature of the occasion. This photograph is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Hesse family and their connections to the British monarchy.
