EDITORS COMMENTS
Welcome Home! A Heartwarming Reunion: Princess Alexandra of Denmark (later Queen Alexandra, consort to King Edward VII of Britain) affectionately greets her sons, Prince Albert Victor (1864-1892) and Prince George (1865-1936), later King George V, on board H.M.S. Bacchante in May 1880. The young princes had just returned to Portsmouth from their first cruise of the West Indies, which lasted eight months. The image captures a moment of pure maternal love and affection as the Princess embraces her sons, who are surrounded by sailors and midshipmen. The deck of the ship serves as the backdrop to this poignant scene, highlighting the transportative power of the sea and the enduring bond between a mother and her sons. This photograph, taken in the late 1880s, offers a glimpse into the personal lives of the British royal family and their naval traditions.
