EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history as King Manuel II of Portugal and his wife, Queen Augusta, attend the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show in 1916. The royal couple, who spent most of their exile in England, are seen here in their regal attire, radiating an air of grace and dignity. King Manuel II, the last monarch of the House of Braganza, was forced into exile in 1910 following the Portuguese Revolution. He and his family lived in England for over two decades, where they were welcomed by the British royal family and the British people. Queen Augusta, formerly Princess Augusta Victoria of Hohenzollern, was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, making her a beloved figure in British society. The Chelsea Flower Show, which began in 1913, was a popular event in London's social calendar, attracting royalty and high society. The show featured beautiful gardens and floral displays from around the world, making it a fitting setting for the Portuguese royals to be photographed. Despite their difficult circumstances, the King and Queen continued to uphold their royal duties and represent Portugal, even in exile. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their resilience and the enduring bond between Portugal and England. The intricate details of the King's military uniform and the Queen's elegant gown add to the grandeur of the image, while the lush greenery of the flower show provides a beautiful backdrop. This historic photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural connections between Portugal and England, and a reminder of the enduring power of royalty to captivate and inspire.
