EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and captivating portrait, Princess Alice of Battenberg, later known as Princess Andrew of Greece, is depicted in a sumptuous evening gown and cloak, exuding an air of refined sophistication and regal beauty. The eldest child of Prince Louis of Battenberg (later known as Mountbatten) and Princess Victoria of Hesse, Alice was born in 1885 in Darmstadt, Germany. At the time of this photograph, taken around 1905, Princess Alice was in her late twenties and had already made a name for herself as a prominent member of European royalty. She would go on to marry Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark in 1903, and would later become the mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who would eventually marry Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in 1947. The intricately beaded and embroidered evening gown that Alice wears in this portrait is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Edwardian era. The delicate lace collar and cuffs of her gown are adorned with intricate floral designs, while the bodice features a deep V-neckline and a fitted waist, accentuating her slender figure. The long, flowing cloak, draped over her arms, adds an extra layer of luxury and glamour to the ensemble. The tiara that Alice wears in her hair completes the look of this regal portrait, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to her already stunning appearance. With her piercing gaze and confident posture, Princess Alice exudes an air of grace and poise that is truly captivating. This portrait offers a glimpse into the world of European royalty at the turn of the 20th century, a time of opulence, grandeur, and tradition. The intricate details of Alice's evening gown and cloak, as well as her regal bearing and striking beauty, make this a truly unforgettable image.
