EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant portrait, Princess Alice of Albany, Countess of Athlone, is depicted in the prime of her youth, around 1905. The Princess, who was born Alice Edmonstone, was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and the wife of Prince Alexander of Teck. Her royal lineage was further enriched by her connection to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Princess Alice's exquisite attire reflects the refined style of the early 20th century. She wears a stunning tiara adorned with intricate diamonds, a fitting accessory for a princess. The tiara's delicate design frames her face beautifully, drawing attention to her expressive features and sparkling eyes. A choker necklace, also embellished with diamonds, complements the tiara, adding an extra touch of elegance to her outfit. Her hairstyle, which features a neatly arranged updo, is a popular choice for formal occasions during this period. The hairstyle, combined with her regal attire, emphasizes her status as a member of the British royal family. Princess Alice's marriage to Prince Alexander of Teck, who later became the Duke of York and eventually King George VI, was a significant event in British royal history. Their union marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Teck family, who would go on to play important roles in the monarchy. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman, whose royal lineage and elegant appearance continue to captivate us today. The diamonds in her tiara and necklace, along with her striking hairstyle, serve as a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the early 20th century.
