Alice Aristocracy Behind Desborough Keppel Mistress Owned Taplow Week End
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1908, depicts Edward VII (1841-1910), the King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, at a weekend house party held at Taplow Court, which was owned by Lord Desborough. The elegant gathering took place in the idyllic English countryside, and the King is seen standing in the center of the group, surrounded by a sea of aristocratic faces. The King's mistress, Alice Keppel (1868-1947), is subtly positioned to the king's right, her presence hinted at by her elegant figure and the intriguing glance she casts over her shoulder. Alice, the Countess of Albemarle, was a prominent figure in Edward VII's court and a favorite of the King, known for her beauty and charm. The image offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the British aristocracy during the early 20th century. The elegantly dressed attendees, their faces filled with laughter and conversation, create an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie. The grandeur of the setting, with its ornate furnishings and rich tapestries, underscores the wealth and power of those gathered. Taplow Court, a stunning country house located in Buckinghamshire, England, was a popular destination for the British royalty and aristocracy. The house, which dates back to the 16th century, has a rich history and has played host to numerous notable figures throughout the centuries. This photograph, a testament to a bygone era, invites us to ponder the lives of these historical figures and the world they inhabited.
