EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of familial love and unity amidst the challenges of the late 19th century. The image features Prince Edward, later King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, and his wife, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, with their three eldest children: Prince Albert Victor, later Duke of Clarence and Avondale; Princess Louise, later Princess Royal; and Prince George, later King George V. The scene is set in 1867, and the children are dressed in fashionable off-the-shoulder outfits, reflecting the trends of the time. Prince Albert Victor, the eldest son, tragically fell ill during the great influenza pandemic of 1889-1892 and subsequently developed pneumonia. Despite the best efforts of the medical professionals, he succumbed to his illness at the young age of 28. The loss of her eldest son deeply affected Princess Alexandra, as evidenced by her somber expression in this photograph. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing loved ones. It also highlights the close bond between the members of the royal family, who stood by each other during times of joy and sorrow. The photograph is a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of the monarchy, as well as the human spirit.
