EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from 1907, the children of Princess Alexandra of Edinburgh, Duchess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, are captured in a playful moment as they frolic with two cats. The Duchess, who was the granddaughter of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, is seen here with her three children: Marie Melita (b. 1902), Irma (b. 1899), and Gottfried (b. 1905). The sisters, Marie Melita and Irma, are dressed in matching outfits, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. Marie Melita, the eldest daughter, is seated on a chair, holding one of the cats in her arms, while Irma, the second eldest, stands beside her, playfully reaching out to touch the other cat. The youngest child, Gottfried, is seen in the foreground, gazing intently at the cats with a curious expression. The photograph was taken during a time when the Duchess and her family were living in Langenburg, Germany, where her husband, Duke Albrecht of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, held the title. The image provides a glimpse into the daily life of the royal family, showcasing the children's playful nature and their affection for animals. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the history and heritage of the British and German royal families, and the close bond between the generations. The image is particularly poignant given the significant roles that the children of Princess Alexandra would go on to play in European history, with Marie Melita becoming the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Irma marrying the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection of historical images available at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of these royal children and their family dynamics.
