EDITORS COMMENTS
A Light-Hearted Moment: Prince Henry of Battenberg, the Dashing Young Fiancé of Princess Beatrice, with a Penny in His Pocket (1885) In this delightful cartoon portrait, Prince Henry of Battenberg, the dashing young fiancé of Princess Beatrice, is depicted with a mischievous grin and a penny in his pocket. The scene captures the excitement and anticipation of the engagement between the couple, which took place on January 31, 1885. Prince Henry, a German prince by birth, had won the heart of the youngest child of Queen Victoria, Princess Beatrice, who was known for her independent spirit and strong will. Their engagement was announced in the late winter of 1885, and the couple was set to marry in the summer of that year. The cartoon, created during the 1880s in the late Victorian era, reflects the playful and light-hearted nature of the engagement. The penny in Prince Henry's pocket may symbolize his readiness to start a new life with his bride or simply represent the carefree spirit of the moment. Prince Henry's distinctive moustache and military uniform add to the regal and elegant atmosphere of the portrait. The couple's engagement was a significant event in British and German royal history, and their union brought together two powerful European dynasties. This charming cartoon offers a glimpse into the personal and human side of the royal couple, making it a treasured piece of history and a reminder of the joy and excitement that surrounded their engagement.
