EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Prince Andrew of Greece (1882-1944) is seen in the company of his sister, Grand Duchess George of Russia, and her daughters, Princesses Nina and Xenia, during their visit to London in 1916. The royal party were the guests of King George V and Queen Mary, and this image captures a moment of warmth and familial affection amidst the backdrop of the First World War. Prince Andrew, a Greek prince by birth but a Russian grand duke by marriage, was the father of the future Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. His sister, Grand Duchess George, was the eldest daughter of Grand Duke George Michael of Russia and Grand Duchess Olga Constantinovna of Russia. The two siblings were part of the Russian imperial family, but their lives were upended by the Russian Revolution in 1917, which forced them into exile. The photograph shows the family in formal attire, with Prince Andrew wearing a military uniform and his sister and daughters dressed in elegant gowns. The setting is a grand London residence, with ornate furnishings and decorative details visible in the background. The atmosphere is one of refined elegance, despite the challenges and upheaval that the royal family were facing at the time. This image is a poignant reminder of the complex web of alliances and familial connections that existed between European royal families during the early 20th century. It also offers a glimpse into the lives of the exiled Russian royals, who found refuge in the United Kingdom during a time of great turmoil and change. The photograph is a valuable historical document, shedding light on the personal stories of the people who shaped European history.
