1844 Alexandra Grand Children Kilt Tartan Viii 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment in the history of the British monarchy, as Queen Alexandra (1844-1925), the beloved wife of King Edward VII, plays with her grandchildren: Mary, future Queen Mary of Teck and consort to George V; Henry, later King George VI; and Edward, the Duke of Windsor and future Edward VIII. The scene is set in the late 19th or early 20th century, with Queen Alexandra wearing a stylish hat and an elegant, flowing gown, while her grandchildren are dressed in traditional Scottish kilts and tartan. The playful interaction between the generations, the warmth and love evident in their expressions, and the historical significance of the individuals depicted make this image a captivating glimpse into the past. Queen Alexandra, born Princess Dagmar of Denmark, was a popular and beloved figure in British society, known for her charitable work and her strong bond with her husband. Her grandchildren, who would later ascend to the throne, were the children of her eldest son, the Duke of York, and his wife, Princess Mary of Teck. This photograph, taken around the time of Edward VII's death in 1910, is a poignant reminder of the close relationship between the queen and her grandchildren, and the continuity of the British monarchy through the generations. The use of traditional Scottish kilts and tartan in the children's attire highlights the connection between the British royal family and Scotland, a link that remains strong to this day. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and evocative representation of the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the royal family and the history of the British monarchy.
