EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Princess Kira Kirillovna of Russia, born Victoria Melita Katherine Mary, is seen on her wedding day in 1937. The princess, who was the daughter of Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg and Grand Prince Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia, is pictured with her grandfather, Kaiser Wilhelm II, the former German Emperor and King of Prussia. The wedding took place in Berlin, Germany, and the groom was Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia. Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was the father of Louis Ferdinand, played an important role in the ceremony, giving his granddaughter away. The image captures a heartwarming moment between the young bride and her grandfather, as they share a tender embrace before the wedding ceremony. Princess Kira Kirillovna was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1909, and her parents were exiled from Russia following the Bolshevik Revolution. She spent her childhood in Europe, primarily in Germany and France, and later in England. Her marriage to Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia was a significant event in European royal history, as it marked the first time that a German prince married a Russian princess since the fall of the Russian monarchy. The photograph, taken in 1937, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when European royalty was a powerful and influential force in global politics. Today, it serves as an important historical record of a significant moment in the lives of two royal families, the Romanovs and the Hohenzollerns, and the complex web of relationships that connected them. This image is a rights-managed photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is not to be used for commercial purposes without prior permission. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, and a testament to the rich and complex history of European royalty.
