EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the life of Queen Victoria and her family. Taken shortly after the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1863, the image shows Queen Victoria surrounded by her loved ones, with a mourning bust of her late husband, Prince Albert, at the center.
The Queen is seen wearing a widow's cap as she reads to her youngest child, Princess Beatrice, while Prince Leopold kneels on the floor beside them. Seated to the left are Princess Louise and Edward, Prince of Wales with his new wife Alexandra. Standing nearby are Princess Helena and Grand Duke Louis of Hesse along with his wife Princess Alice.
This group portrait serves as a reminder of Prince Albert's continued presence within their lives despite his passing. It is evident that this gathering was one that he had discussed and agreed upon before his death - particularly regarding the marriage of their son, the Prince of Wales.
Each member exudes regal elegance in their attire and poses for this historic photograph. The intricate details captured in this image provide a glimpse into royal life during this significant period in British history.
