EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment in Danish history, featuring the young Margrethe II of Denmark as a baby in December 1940. The image, titled "Denmark - Margrethe baby," was published in the Illustrated London News (ILN) on January 7, 1941. At the time, Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany, and the future queen was just over two years old. The photograph offers a glimpse into the private life of the Danish royal family during this tumultuous period in their nation's history. Margrethe's father, King Christian X, was a popular and respected monarch who ruled Denmark from 1912 until his death in 1947. He was known for his strong commitment to the Danish constitution and his unwavering support for his people. During the German occupation, he refused to cooperate with the Nazis, and his defiance helped to maintain the morale of the Danish resistance. The photograph of Margrethe as a baby serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the Danish people during this dark chapter in their history. Despite the challenges they faced, they continued to hold onto their national identity and their hope for a better future. Margrethe, who would go on to become the longest-reigning monarch in Danish history, embodies the strength and perseverance of her people. This historical photograph, now available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on a significant moment in Danish history and provides a fascinating insight into the life of a beloved monarch during her early childhood.
