EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a historic moment in European royal history as Princess Marie of Edinburgh (later Queen Marie of Romania) meets her future husband, Prince Ferdinand Victor of Romania, at the train station in Sigmaringen, Germany, on the eve of their wedding on 10 January 1893. The young couple, both dressed in elegant attire, exude an air of excitement and anticipation as they greet each other for the first time as betrothed partners. Princess Marie, born Princess Marie Amalie Victoria of Bavaria, was the eldest daughter of Duke Karl Theodor in Bavaria and Princess Marie Henriette of Saxe-Altenburg. She was raised in a prominent European royal family and was known for her intelligence, beauty, and grace. Prince Ferdinand, the eldest son of Prince Carol of Romania and Elisabeth of Württemberg, was the heir to the throne of Romania. Their union was a significant political alliance, as Romania sought to strengthen its ties with European powers. The wedding ceremony took place at the Sigmaringen Castle, and the newlyweds were later crowned King and Queen of Romania in Bucharest on 6 May 1893. Their marriage was a happy and successful one, and they went on to have six children together. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the romantic and historical significance of royal weddings, and the enduring power of love and commitment to bring people together, even in the face of political and social challenges.
