EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and intimate moment between the Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VII, and his beloved younger sister, Princess Alice. The bond between Bertie and Alice is palpable in this image from around 1860, showcasing their close relationship as siblings within Queen Victoria's large brood of children.
Despite the pressures of royal life and their eventual paths leading to different roles within European royalty - with Bertie ascending to the throne as King Edward VII and Alice becoming Grand Duchess of Hesse - they remained connected by a special familial tie that transcended borders and titles.
The photograph exudes a sense of history and nostalgia, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of two prominent figures from the Victorian era. Their expressions speak volumes about the affection they shared for each other, reminding us that even amidst grandeur and duty, family remains at the heart of it all.
As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by these siblings who navigated their way through an ever-changing world with grace, dignity, and above all else - love for one another.
