EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Prince Georg Wilhelm of Hanover, the eldest son of Ernst August, Duke of Brunswick, and Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, is seen ushering a small page boy at a royal wedding. The year is estimated to be around 1955. The prince, who was born in 1915, is dressed in the formal attire of a German princely gentleman, complete with a top hat and tails. His solemn expression and attentive posture as he guides the young page through the pews of the church convey a sense of duty and responsibility. Behind Prince Georg Wilhelm, his wife, Princess Sophie of Greece, sits in the pew. Sophie, born in 1914, was first married to Prince Christoph of Hesse-Cassel before she wed Georg Wilhelm in 1952. Her elegant gown and demure expression reflect the grace and poise expected of a princess. In the pew behind Sophie is her mother, Princess Andrew of Greece, formerly known as Princess Alice of Battenberg. Born in 1885, Andrew was the mother of both Sophie and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Her presence at the wedding likely underscores the close-knit nature of the European royal families during this era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these royal figures, their connections to one another, and the grandeur of royal weddings in the mid-20th century. The image is a testament to the rich history and intricate web of relationships that define the European royalty.
