EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and timeless black-and-white photograph, Princess Theodora of Greece and Prince Berthold, Margrave of Baden, proudly display their engagement rings as they gaze into each other's eyes. The future couple, both rooted in European royalty, are captured in a tender moment before their upcoming nuptials. Princess Theodora, born in 1906, was the second child of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg. Her elder brother, Prince Philip, would later become the Duke of Edinburgh, making Theodora the sister of the current British monarch. Prince Berthold, born in 1903, was the Margrave of Baden, a German princely title. The couple's engagement was announced in 1931, marking the beginning of a union between two prominent European royal families. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of their upcoming marriage, as they stand before the camera with radiant smiles. Theodora's elegant engagement gown, featuring a high neckline and long sleeves, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, adorned with a delicate headpiece. Berthold, in his formal attire, looks dashing and confident as he places his hand on his fiancée's waist. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when royal engagements were celebrated with great fanfare and pomp. It also serves as a connection to the rich history of European royalty, showcasing the beauty and grace of a young couple on the cusp of starting their lives together.
