EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Princess Helena of Wales, the third eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, bids farewell to her family as she departs from Windsor Castle following her marriage to Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein on 5th July 1866. The young princess, resplendent in her bridal attire, is surrounded by her mother, the Queen, and her sisters, Princesses Alice and Louise, as they wave goodbye from the balcony of the castle. Prince Christian, a Danish prince, was a first cousin of the British monarch, making their union a significant royal alliance. The wedding ceremony was held in the castle's St. George's Chapel, where many royal nuptials had taken place before, including that of the bride's parents in 1840. The newlyweds' departure from Windsor Castle marked the beginning of their married life together, and they would go on to have six children. The procession that followed the wedding was a grand affair, with thousands of well-wishers lining the streets of Windsor to catch a glimpse of the newlywed couple. This photograph captures a poignant moment in the lives of the royal family, as Princess Helena, with a tender expression and a veil still in place, looks back at her loved ones before embarking on a new journey with her husband. The image is a beautiful testament to the love and support of a close-knit royal family, as well as the excitement and anticipation of a new marriage. The photograph, taken in 1866, is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the personal lives of the royal family during a time of great change and transformation. It is a reminder of the enduring power of love and family, and the significance of royal weddings in shaping the course of history.
