EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time during the autumn of 1913, as Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, and her husband, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, were received at Windsor Castle by King George V and Queen Mary. The visit marked a rare appearance of the Archduke and Duchess in England, as Sophie's status as a morganatic wife prevented them from being welcomed at many European courts. Born Princess Sophie Chotek of Chotkowa and Wognin, Sophie was an unconventional choice for the Archduke, who defied the Austrian imperial family's disapproval of their union. Their love story, filled with obstacles and challenges, ultimately led to their marriage in 1893. The Duchess, elegantly dressed in a formal gown, gazes directly at the camera with a confident and poised expression. Her husband, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, stands beside her, wearing the uniform of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The background of the photograph showcases the grandeur of Windsor Castle, with its ornate decorations and intricate details. This photograph holds historical significance as it captures the last peaceful moment in the lives of the Archduke and Duchess of Hohenberg before their tragic assassination in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. Their deaths sparked a chain reaction of events that ultimately led to the outbreak of the First World War. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the lives of these royal figures, providing a poignant reminder of the complexities and intricacies of European royal history.
