The Prince and Princess of Wales landing at St. Michael's Mount, 1865. Creator: Unknown
The Prince and Princess of Wales landing at St. Michael's Mount, [Cornwall], 1865....outside Marazion is the singular conical rock, or rather series of rocks, known as St. Michael's Mount...This rock, which is about a mile in circumference, and which for six hours out of every twelve is completely surrounded by the sea, is one of the chief attractions of the place...It stands proudly out of the sea as if defying all that the billows can do against it, and is by turns every day an island and a peninsula, as the tide falls and rises...it became, by purchase, the property of Sir John St. Aubyn, the ancestor of its present master. The summit is still occupied by the ancient monastic buildings, but they have been adapted to modern requirements...A guard of honour, consisting of thirty-five of the Penzance and Falmouth divisions of the Coastguard...and a detachment of the Royal Artillery Volunteers...had been posted at the approach to the landing-place. The Prince and Princess landed just inside the harbour at the same staircase...at which her Majesty and the late Prince Consort landed in 1846...The whole party were conducted by Mr. St. Aubyn up the steep way which leads to the castle'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Royal Arrival: The Prince and Princess of Wales Land at St. Michael's Mount, Cornwall (1865)
In this historic photograph, taken in August 1865, HRH The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and his wife, HRH Princess Alexandra of Denmark, make a grand entrance onto the iconic St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall. As they step off their boat and onto dry land at the ancient monastic buildings perched atop this unique rock formation, they are greeted by a guard of honour from the Penzance and Falmouth divisions of the Coastguard and Royal Artillery Volunteers.
This momentous occasion marks another milestone in the long history of royal visits to St. Michael's Mount, which dates back to 1846 when Queen Victoria herself landed at this very spot with her husband, Prince Albert. The island-peninsula has been a beloved destination for centuries, its rugged beauty and rich heritage captivating visitors from far and wide.
In this photograph, the Prince and Princess of Wales are seen descending the steep staircase that leads up to the castle's summit, flanked by their hosts Mr. St. Aubyn and his family. The scene is one of regal elegance, with the majestic rock formation providing a dramatic backdrop for this royal visit.
