EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Her Royal Highness Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, later Duchess of Teck, is depicted at the age of 32, following her marriage to Prince Francis of Teck on 12th June 1866 at St. Anne's Church in Kew, her childhood home. Born as the youngest child of Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, and granddaughter of King George III, Princess Mary was a beloved member of the British Royal Family and a cherished cousin of Queen Victoria. The Princess, affectionately known to the public as "Fat Mary" due to her considerable girth, was a popular figure despite her size. Her warm and generous nature, as well as her dedication to numerous charitable causes, endeared her to the people of Britain. In this exquisite image, Princess Mary Adelaide is dressed elegantly in a high-necked, long-sleeved gown, adorned with intricate lace detailing and a voluminous skirt. Her expressive eyes and gentle smile radiate a sense of kindness and grace, reflecting her inner beauty and strength. The Princess and Prince Francis went on to have four children together, the eldest of whom was Princess May of Teck, who would later become Queen Mary, consort of King George V. This portrait serves as a testament to the Princess's enduring legacy and her significant role in the history of the British monarchy. Date: 1866.
