EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Prince Albert, later King George VI of the United Kingdom (1895-1952), is seen riding in an open carriage through the streets of London, accompanied by Crown Prince Alexander I of Serbia (1888-1934). The image captures a moment during Prince Alexander's diplomatic visit to England in 1916, when the two royals were en route to Buckingham Palace for important discussions regarding matters of Allied interest. Prince Albert, the Duke of York at the time, wears a military uniform, reflecting his role as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. His regal presence is matched by that of Crown Prince Alexander, who, having become Prince Regent of Serbia in 1909, would later ascend to the throne of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1921. The open-top carriage ride through the bustling streets of London offers a glimpse into the official and formal nature of the visit. The two princes, both resplendent in their uniforms, exude an air of authority and determination as they engage in their important mission. The photograph is a testament to the diplomatic ties between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Serbia during a time of great turmoil and change in Europe. The image captures a moment in history when two powerful monarchs came together in the heart of London to discuss matters of great importance, paving the way for a stronger alliance between their respective countries.
