EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and Prince Albert (1819-1861) at the Opening of Parliament on 1 February 1844. The image presents a significant moment in British political history, as Victoria, dressed in her regal robes and diadem, reads the Queen's Speech to her assembled parliamentarians. Prince Albert, her devoted and influential husband, sits attentively by her side, providing support and guidance. The Queen's Speech outlined the government's legislative agenda for the new session, and this annual event marked the beginning of the parliamentary year. The photograph, taken during the height of Victoria's reign, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy and its role in the political process. This image, with its rich historical significance, is a testament to the enduring power and influence of the British monarchy in the 19th century.
