EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe-Langenburg: A Royal Life" 2.. This portrait captures the likeness of Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1835-1900), a prominent figure in European royal history. Daughter of Princess Feodora of Leiningen and Ernst I, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Adelaide was a grandniece of Queen Victoria. In 1852, she received a proposal of marriage from French Emperor Napoleon III, but she declined and instead chose to marry Frederik VIII, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein in 1856. Their union produced seven children, making Adelaide an influential figure in the Schleswig-Holstein court. Born in 1835, Adelaide's early life was marked by her connection to the British Royal Family through her mother, Princess Feodora, who was a half-sister of Queen Victoria. Despite this royal lineage, Adelaide's future was uncertain until Napoleon III's proposal. However, she ultimately chose a different path, marrying Frederik VIII and becoming the Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein. This portrait, taken in 1836, offers a glimpse into Adelaide's youthful beauty and regal bearing. The photograph is a poignant reminder of her rich history and the significant role she played in European royalty. With her marriage to Frederik VIII, Adelaide became a mother and a duchess, shaping the course of her family's history and leaving a lasting impact on the Schleswig-Holstein dynasty.
