EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment in the history of the British monarchy, as Prince Albert Edward, later King Edward VII, is flanked by his wife, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, and their firstborn son, Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, in circa 1865. The Prince of Wales, known for his dashing good looks and flamboyant style, is dressed in a formal suit, while Alexandra, resplendent in a voluminous crinoline gown, gazes lovingly at her husband. Their son, Albert Victor, wears a frilly shirt and a bow at his collar, reflecting the fashion of the time for young boys. The image, which dates from 1841 to 1910, is a poignant reminder of the family dynamics of the royal household during a period of transition. Edward VII ascended to the throne in 1901, following the death of Queen Victoria, making Albert Victor the heir apparent. However, tragedy struck when Albert Victor died suddenly in 1892, and Edward became the sole heir. This photograph is a testament to the close-knit relationship between the Prince and Princess of Wales and their eldest son, a bond that was crucial in shaping the future of the monarchy. The image also underscores the historical significance of the royal family, as well as the fashion trends of the Victorian era. Overall, this photograph offers a glimpse into the personal lives of the royals, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of the British monarchy during a pivotal period in history.
