EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a truly remarkable moment in history - Princess Beatrice, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria, picking coal in the Wynnstay Colliery in Ruabon, North Wales back in 1889. The image showcases a side of royalty rarely seen - one where even princesses were not afraid to get their hands dirty and work alongside common folk.
Princess Beatrice (1857-1944) is depicted here with sleeves rolled up, surrounded by miners as she assists them in their daily labor. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by those working in the coal mines during that era, highlighting the hard work and dedication required to extract this valuable resource.
Despite her royal status, Princess Beatrice appears unphased by the grime and dust surrounding her as she diligently picks coal alongside her fellow workers. Her willingness to engage in such manual labor speaks volumes about her character and sense of duty towards her people.
This powerful image serves as a reminder of Princess Beatrice's humility and compassion for others, transcending social barriers to connect with individuals from all walks of life. It is a testament to her legacy as a compassionate and down-to-earth member of the royal family.
