Charlotte and Feodora of Prussia
Princess Charlotte of Prussia (1860-1919), daughter of Vicky (Princess Royal), Crown Princess of Prussia, with her daughter Feodora (1879-1945) in 1880. Charlotte married Prince Bernhard of Saxe-Meiningen in 1878 and Feodora was their only child. Medical records demonstrate conclusively that both Charlotte and Feodora suffered from porphyria; the case for its having been inherited from Queen Victoria is less clear-cut

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Royal Legacy: Princess Charlotte of Prussia and Her Daughter Feodora, 1880" 2.. In this evocative photograph, Princess Charlotte of Prussia, the eldest daughter of Princess Royal Victoria, Crown Princess of Prussia, is depicted with her young daughter Feodora, born in 1879. Charlotte had married Prince Bernhard of Saxe-Meiningen in 1878, and this image captures a tender moment between mother and child. 3. Background: Princess Charlotte, born in 1860, was a member of the British royal family as the eldest granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Her marriage to Prince Bernhard marked the first time a British princess married a German prince. Their only child, Feodora, was born with a condition that would later be identified as porphyria, a genetic disorder that affects the production of certain enzymes in the body. 4. Medical History: Medical records suggest that both Charlotte and Feodora suffered from porphyria. However, it is less clear whether they inherited the condition from Queen Victoria, who was also believed to have the condition but was never officially diagnosed. The royal family kept this information private, and it was not until many years later that the truth came to light. 5. Significance: This photograph is an important historical document, offering a glimpse into the lives of the royal family and the health challenges they faced. The image also highlights the complex web of European royal connections and the impact of genetic disorders on the royal lineages. 6. Conclusion: The photograph of Princess Charlotte and her daughter Feodora, taken in 1880, is a poignant reminder of the intricacies of royal history and the enduring legacy of the porphyria condition within the European royal families.
