EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken at Bernstorff Palace in Denmark in 1871, three daughters of King Christian IX of Denmark are assembled with their families. The eldest, Crown Princess Maria Feodorovna of Russia, is seen with her husband Tsar Alexander III and their son, Georgi Alexandrovich. Maria's younger sister, Princess Thyra of Denmark (Duchess of Cumberland), is also present with her family. Next to Thyra is Alexandra, Princess of Wales, later to become Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom, holding her daughter Princess Maud. Behind Alexandra stands her sister, Princess Victoria of Wales. In the background, Queen Louise of Denmark is pictured, along with her son, Prince Albert Victor of Wales (later King George V), and her daughter, Princess Louise. Crown Princess Louise of Denmark is shown in the bottom right corner, holding her son, Prince Christian. This photograph captures a unique moment in history, as the royal families of Denmark, Russia, and the United Kingdom came together at Bernstorff Palace. The gathering of these powerful European monarchs highlights the complex web of royal relationships and alliances during this period. Maria Feodorovna, born as Princess Dagmar of Denmark, became Empress of Russia upon her marriage to Tsar Alexander III in 1866. Her sister, Thyra, married Frederick VIII of Denmark and became Duchess of Cumberland. Alexandra, Princess of Wales, would later marry King Edward VII of the United Kingdom in 1863. The relationships between these royal families played a significant role in European politics and diplomacy during the late 19th century. This photograph is an intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a rare look at the personal lives of these influential figures and their connections to one another.
