In this historic photograph, we witness the christening of Prince Peter of Yugoslavia, which took place in Belgrade, October 1923. The young prince, held by Queen Marie of Romania, is surrounded by the most prominent European royals of the time. King Alexander I and Queen Marie of Yugoslavia are seen in their regal attire, beaming with pride as their son is blessed. To the left, King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie of Romania join the celebration, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The Duchess and Duke of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, gracefully attend as the Chief Witness, as they had done at the wedding of King Alexander I and Queen Marie in 1922. The royals are dressed in their formal uniforms and robes, adding an air of sophistication and tradition to the event. The Christening of Prince Peter was an official gathering of European heads of state, symbolizing unity and cooperation among the monarchies of the time.
