EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Trio of Bridesmaids at the Royal Wedding of Princess Maud of Wales, 1896" This evocative photograph captures a moment of regal elegance and familial warmth from the wedding of Princess Maud of Wales, the youngest daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, on 22 July 1896, in the private chapel of Buckingham Palace, London. The three bridesmaids in the image are Princesses Victoria of Wales (top), Thyra of Denmark (lower left), and Ingeborg of Denmark (lower right). Princess Victoria, the eldest daughter of the future King George V and Queen Mary, is depicted with a demure expression and an exquisite blue oval-shaped bouquet. Her elegant attire, adorned with intricate floral detailing, reflects the Victorian era's love for opulence and refinement. To her left, Princess Thyra of Denmark, the eldest daughter of King Christian IX and Queen Louise of Denmark, holds a similar bouquet, her bridesmaid's gown featuring a beautiful floral design. Her sister, Princess Ingeborg, is seen on the right, also in a stunning floral gown, her crown adding an air of regal sophistication to the scene. The three princesses are joined by their cousin, Prince Charles (later King Haakon VII of Norway, 1869-1957), who stands behind Princess Thyra, offering his support and protection. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of royal weddings, showcasing the strong bonds between the British, Danish, and Norwegian royal families during the late Victorian era. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a testament to the enduring allure of royal traditions and the power of familial connections.
