EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Queen Marie of Romania (1875-1938) and her eldest daughter, Princess Ileana (1909-1991), during a significant moment in Romanian history. Marie, born in England as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh, found herself in a pivotal role as Queen Consort of Romania following her marriage to King Ferdinand I in 1893. In 1916, as Europe was engulfed in the First World War, King Ferdinand made the decision to bring Romania into the conflict by declaring support for the Allied powers. This photograph was published shortly after this declaration, showcasing the strength and resilience of the royal family in the face of adversity. The image of Marie and her daughter Ileana, both dressed in elegant, flowing gowns, conveys a sense of grace and determination. The young princess, aged just 7 at the time, would grow up to become a respected figure in her own right, serving as Regent during her brother's minority and later becoming the Grandmother of Constantine II, the last King of Romania. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of a pivotal moment in Romania's history, with Marie's British heritage adding an intriguing layer to the country's involvement in the First World War. The image is a poignant reminder of the personal sacrifices and political maneuverings that shaped the course of history during this tumultuous period.
