EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, also known as Queen Ena of Spain, is seen enjoying a polo match at Eaton Hall in Cheshire during the early 1910s. The Princess, who was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, is pictured in the company of Her Grace, Shelagh, Duchess of Westminster. The Duke and Duchess of Westminster were renowned for their princely entertaining and admirable hospitality, and this image captures the refined atmosphere of a weekend at their esteemed country residence. The private grounds of Eaton Hall, nestled in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, provided the perfect setting for the polo match. The Duke and Duchess's love for the sport was well-known, and they frequently hosted matches for their esteemed guests. In this photograph, the Princess, dressed in a stylish hat and long coat, watches the game intently, while the Duchess, dressed in a fashionable riding habit, looks on approvingly. The Edwardian era, in which this photograph was taken, was a time of opulence and grandeur, and the lifestyle of the aristocracy was a source of fascination for the public. The image of the Princess and the Duchess at Eaton Hall encapsulates the elegance and sophistication of this bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy and their weekend pursuits. Eaton Hall, which has been the ancestral home of the Duke of Westminster since the late 17th century, continues to be a symbol of British aristocratic history and tradition. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the English country house and the timeless appeal of the aristocratic lifestyle.
