EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the Royal Children's Ball held at Buckingham Palace on the 26th of April, 1847. The young royals of the Victorian era, including the future King Edward VII and his siblings, are seen in their finest attire, reveling in the joy and merriment of the social gathering. The image, taken during the early 1840s, offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of the British monarchy, as they let their guard down and enjoyed an evening of dancing and camaraderie. The grandeur of the setting, with its ornate thrones and opulent decor, adds to the sense of occasion and importance. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who are believed to be overseeing the festivities from the sidelines, are not present in the photograph, but their influence is palpable. The couple, known for their commitment to their children's upbringing, would have approved of this lighthearted and enjoyable event. The photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a precious reminder of a time when the monarchy was a source of pride and inspiration for the people of London and beyond. It invites us to imagine the laughter and joy that filled the halls of Buckingham Palace on that magical evening in 1847.
