EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a tender moment in the history of the British monarchy, as Prince Albert Edward, later King Edward VII, is seen cradling his young son, Albert Victor, in the company of his wife, Princess Alexandra of Denmark. The image was taken in 1864, during the early years of their marriage, and the warmth and love shared among the royal family members is palpable. Prince Albert Edward, the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, was the heir apparent to the throne at the time. His wife, Alexandra, was a beloved Danish princess who had captured the heart of the Prince and the British public with her grace, beauty, and strong character. The couple's first child, Albert Victor, was born on January 8, 1864, and this photograph was likely taken shortly after his birth. The future King Edward VII is seen gazing lovingly at his son, while Princess Alexandra looks on with pride and affection. The young Albert Victor, dressed in a white lace outfit, rests comfortably in his father's arms, his eyes closed in contentment. The family's happiness is a stark contrast to the sadness and loss that would later befall them, with the untimely death of Albert Victor in 1892, and the tragic death of both Edward VII and Alexandra in 1910. This photograph is a precious reminder of a simpler time in royal history, when the focus was on the love and joy of a young family, rather than the political and social upheavals that would come to define the later years of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a poignant reminder of the human side of the monarchy, and a testament to the enduring bonds of love and family that have been a constant presence throughout history.
