EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a heartwarming moment from the royal wedding of Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Prince Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse, which took place on October 30, 1894. The newlywed couple, dressed in their elegant wedding attire, stand before Queen Victoria, who embraces her granddaughter with a loving gesture. Princess Victoria Melita, who was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and the former Grand Duchess of Russia, wore a magnificent wedding gown designed by Charles Frederick Worth, featuring a fitted bodice and a voluminous skirt made of ivory silk tulle. Her bridal veil, adorned with pearls and diamonds, trailed behind her as she walked down the aisle. Prince Ernst Ludwig, a member of the German House of Hesse and by Rhine, wore the uniform of the Hessian Leibgarde. The wedding ceremony took place at St. Mildred's Chapel in Windsor Castle, in the presence of many distinguished guests, including European royalty and noblemen. After the ceremony, the newlyweds, accompanied by Queen Victoria, made their way to London for a grand reception at Marlborough House. The marriage between Princess Victoria Melita and Prince Ernst Ludwig was the first of three marriages for the Princess, and the union of the Hesse and Edinburgh branches of the royal family marked an important moment in European royal history. This beautiful photograph, which captures the joy and love of the occasion, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the royal wedding of Princess Victoria Melita and Prince Ernst Ludwig.
