EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during World War I, as Princess Alexandra of Hohenlohe-Langenburg gathers with her children and future son-in-law in 1915. The Princess, who was the Duchess of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg, is seen wearing a nurses uniform, a testament to the war work that many royal ladies felt compelled to undertake as a significant contribution to the war effort on both sides. To the left of the Princess, her eldest daughter, Princess Irma, gazes intently at the camera. Next to her is the Princess herself, her regal presence radiating a sense of strength and resilience. In the center, the future Duke and Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein-Glucksburg, Friedrich and Marie Melita, are seated with their daughter, Princess Alexandra. The couple were married in February 1916, making this photograph a precious prelude to their union. The Princess's youngest daughter, Marie Melita, sits demurely on her mother's lap, her expression thoughtful. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and solidarity shown by the European royal families during the Great War. The Princess's uniform, a symbol of her dedication to the cause, underscores the importance of service and unity in the face of adversity. This historical photograph, taken in December 1915, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the royal ladies who played their part in the war effort.
