EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from 1916, Prince George of Battenberg, the younger son of Prince Louis of Battenberg and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, is seen taking a leisurely stroll in Hyde Park with his beloved fiancée, Countess Nada Torby, and her mother, Countess Torby, who was the wife of Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovitch of Russia. The announcement of their engagement had recently made headlines in society pages, and the joyous couple could not contain their excitement as they basked in the warm autumn sun. Prince George, who later became the 1st Marquess of Milford Haven and the 1st Marquess of Haven, was a British prince by birth but was exiled from the United Kingdom during World War I due to his German ancestry. He found refuge in Russia, where he met the stunning Countess Nada, whose beauty and charm captured his heart. The elegant Countess Nada, whose birth name was Natalie Pahlen, was the daughter of a Russian count and a Danish baroness. Her mother, Countess Torby, was a prominent figure in Russian high society, and her connection to the Russian royal family no doubt added to the allure of the engagement. As they walked hand in hand, the future marquess and marchioness appeared to be deeply in love, their faces reflecting the happiness and excitement of their upcoming nuptials. The serene setting of Hyde Park provided the perfect backdrop for this romantic moment, capturing the essence of a love story that transcended borders and political tensions. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of love and the connections that unite people from all walks of life. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the European aristocracy during a time of great change and upheaval, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and grace that can be found even in the most challenging of circumstances.
