1842 Baptism Baptisms Born Christening Crowned Albert
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a significant moment in the history of the British monarchy: the baptism of Prince Albert Edward, the firstborn son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, on August 22, 1841. The future King Edward VII is shown in the arms of his mother, surrounded by members of the royal family and clergymen. The scene takes place in the private chapel at St. James's Palace, London. Queen Victoria, dressed in a white gown and wearing the diamond diadem, looks down at her son with a tender expression, while Prince Albert, wearing the uniform of a naval lieutenant, stands behind her, a proud and protective father. The couple's devotion to each other and their newborn son is palpable, making this a poignant and intimate moment in their lives. Prince Albert Edward, later known as Edward VII, was the eldest child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and was born on November 9, 1841. He was the first son of the queen to survive infancy, and his birth brought great joy to the royal family and the British people. The prince was educated at home and showed an early interest in the navy, following in his father's footsteps. He became Prince of Wales in 1857 and succeeded his mother as king in 1901. This historic photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a glimpse into the personal lives of the royal family during a time of great change and transition in British history. The baptism of Prince Albert Edward marks the beginning of his journey to becoming a beloved and influential monarch, and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the British monarchy.
