EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the annals of royal history, we are granted a privileged peek into the dressing room of Princess Alexandra of Denmark on the momentous day of her marriage to Prince Edward of Wales, who would later become King Edward VII of England, on March 10, 1863. The scene unfolds at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, where the princess prepares for her grand reception. The room is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era, with its lavishly decorated walls adorned with intricate garlanded columns and an enormous mirror mounted on a dressing table. The mirror's ornate gold frame reflects the richness of the room's design, while the table itself is draped in sumptuous cloth, adding to the regal atmosphere. The architecture of the room is a stunning blend of the 1860s and the classical, with its high ceilings, intricate moldings, and elegant details. The princess, a daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, is seen here in the final stages of her preparations, surrounded by the trappings of her new role as Princess of Wales. The mirror, a focal point of the room, not only serves as a practical tool for the princess to check her appearance but also as a symbol of self-reflection and introspection, as she prepares to embark on a new chapter in her life as a royal consort. The image captures the essence of the occasion, with its blend of anticipation, excitement, and the weight of history. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the grandeur and tradition that surrounds the British monarchy, and a glimpse into the life of one of its most fascinating figures.
