EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Princess Christian of Denmark, also known as Princess Louise of Hesse-Kassel, in the prime of her youth and beauty. The photograph, taken in 1863, depicts the princess in an elegant and refined manner, dressed in a high-necked, long-sleeved gown with a lace overlay. Her dark hair is styled in an intricate updo, adorned with a delicate floral headpiece. Princess Christian was the wife of King Christian IX of Denmark, who reigned from 1863 to 1906. She was the mother of Alexandra, Princess of Wales, who later became Queen Consort of the United Kingdom upon her marriage to Prince Edward, later King Edward VII, in 1863. Born on March 9, 1817, in Kassel, Germany, Princess Louise was the eldest daughter of Duke Ernest II of Hesse and Princess Friederike of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. She was raised in a prominent European court and was known for her intelligence, grace, and charm. In the 1860s, Princess Christian and her husband, King Christian IX, resided in London, where she became a popular figure in high society. She was known for her charitable works and her patronage of the arts. Her daughter Alexandra, who would later become a beloved queen, was often seen in her mother's company during this time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the elegance and sophistication of the Danish royal family during the 1860s. It is a testament to the beauty and poise of Princess Christian, who played an important role in shaping the lives of her children and the history of Europe.
