EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful postcard commemorates the grand wedding of Princess Alice of Battenberg (1885-1969) and Prince Andrew of Greece (1882-1944) on the 7th of October, 1903. The wedding took place in the Russian Chapel in Darmstadt, Germany, marking the last of the great royal gatherings in this small German town. The ceremony brought together Russian, Greek, German, and English royal families, as Princess Alice was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, while Prince Andrew was a cousin of the Russian Tsar. The newlyweds, who are the parents of the future Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, are seen in this image, radiantly smiling at each other. The bride, Princess Alice, is dressed in an elegant white wedding gown with a long train, while the groom, Prince Andrew, is dressed in his military uniform. The couple's union symbolized the close ties between the European royal families and their shared history. The wedding of Princess Alice and Prince Andrew in Darmstadt was a historic event, as it marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the young couple and the start of a royal legacy that would continue for generations. This postcard is a precious reminder of this significant moment in royal history and serves as a testament to the enduring tradition of royal marriages and their role in shaping the monarchies of Europe.
