EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Princess Sophie of Greece, the elegant and beloved wife of King Constantine, is seen enjoying a leisurely day at the annual dog show held in the seaside town of Eastbourne, England, in 1914. Princess Sophie, who was formerly known as Sophie Charlotte of Prussia and was the younger sister of the German Kaiser, William II, is dressed in a stylish hat and a flowing, floral dress, exuding an air of grace and sophistication. To her right stands her ten-year-old daughter, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, who was born in Athens in 1904. The young princess, who would later become Queen of Spain, is dressed in a simple yet fashionable outfit, with a matching hat adorned with a bow. The mother-daughter duo is surrounded by an array of elegant ladies in their Sunday best, all admiring the various breeds of dogs on display. Eastbourne, located on the southern coast of England, was a popular holiday destination for the Greek royal family, who frequently visited the town to escape the harsh Greek summers. The annual dog show was a much-anticipated event, attracting royalty and high society from across Europe. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the Greek royals during a time of peace and prosperity, before the tumultuous events of the First World War would forever change the course of European history. The image of Queen Sophie and her daughter, enjoying a simple pleasure in the company of their beloved dogs, serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty, and the enduring bond between a mother and her child.
