EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the youthful beauty and regal elegance of Princesses Victoria and Maud of Wales, daughters of the then-reigning monarch, King Edward VII, in the year 1890. The sisters, who would later become Queen Alexandra of Denmark and Queen Maud of Norway, respectively, are depicted in formal attire, exuding an air of refinement and poise. Princess Victoria, the elder sister, wears a white dress with a lace collar and cuffs, while Princess Maud dons a dark gown with a velvet collar and a matching shawl. Their expressions are serious yet gentle, reflecting the responsibility and duty that lay before them as members of the British Royal Family. The sisters' relationship was marked by deep affection and closeness, and they shared a strong bond throughout their lives. When Maud married Crown Prince Haakon of Norway in 1896, Victoria accompanied her to Norway for the wedding, and the two sisters remained in close contact despite the distance between their countries. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sisters' youth and the roles they would later assume as monarchs. Princess Victoria went on to become Queen Consort of Denmark in 1869, while Princess Maud became the first queen of an independent Norway in 1905 following its separation from Sweden. The sisters' legacies continue to be celebrated in both the British and Norwegian royal families, and their story is an intriguing chapter in the rich history of European royalty.
