EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant quartet of portraits, Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh is depicted in the radiant aftermath of her marriage to Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse on April 19, 1894. The princess, who was born on November 25, 1876, was the eldest daughter of Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and a beloved granddaughter of both Queen Victoria and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Her maternal grandparents' reigns overlapped, making her a cherished connection between the British and Russian monarchies. In the first image, Victoria Melita is shown in a regal profile, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders and her piercing gaze fixed on the viewer. In the second portrait, she turns to face the camera, her expression soft and demure, her hands delicately folded in her lap. The third image captures her in a three-quarter view, her eyes downcast and her hands resting on a table adorned with flowers. The final portrait presents the princess in a three-quarter view, her expression thoughtful and her hands clasped in front of her. These portraits offer a glimpse into the beauty and grace of Princess Victoria Melita during a pivotal moment in her life. Her marriage to her paternal first cousin, Ernst Ludwig of Hesse, united the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Edinburgh branches of the royal family. However, the union was not to last, and the couple divorced in 1901. Despite the marital difficulties, Victoria Melita's radiance and royal lineage continued to captivate the world, making her a beloved figure in the annals of royal history.
