EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures the radiant beauty and youthful grace of Princess Helena of Wales (later Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein), third daughter and fifth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, on the occasion of her wedding to Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein in 1866. Known affectionately as 'Lenchen' within the royal family, Princess Helena's marriage to the Danish prince marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership and the strengthening of diplomatic ties between the British and Danish monarchies. The photograph, taken around the time of their nuptials, showcases the couple's elegant attire and the tender connection they shared. Princess Helena wears an intricately designed wedding gown, adorned with lace and pearls, while her husband, Prince Christian, dons the formal uniform of the Danish Navy. The serene expression on both their faces speaks volumes about their happiness and the promise of a loving union. Princess Helena's marriage to Prince Christian was a significant event in the European royal scene, as it brought together two influential dynasties. The union also highlighted the close relationship between Queen Victoria and her eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal, who served as the chief mourner at her younger sister's wedding due to the recent death of their mother, Empress Frederick of Germany. This beautiful photograph is a testament to the love and commitment shared by Princess Helena and Prince Christian, as well as the diplomatic alliances that shaped the European monarchies during the late 19th century.
