Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg
Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg (1876-1936) in 1909 with her children by her second husband, Grand Prince Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia; Maria (standing) and Kira. Divorce was rare in the early 1900 and so when Victoria Melita (known as Ducky in the family) decided to end her unhappy marriage to her cousin Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse-Darmstadt after seven years of unhappiness and marry Kirill, the decision shocked her family. Victoria Melita was the second daughter of Prince Alfred and his wife Maria Alexandrovna of Russia.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg (1876-1936) is captured with her children, Grand Duchesses Maria and Kira, in 1909. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and happiness, a stark contrast to the tumultuous events that preceded this moment. Victoria Melita, affectionately known as "Ducky" in her family, had endured an unhappy marriage to her cousin, Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse-Darmstadt, for seven years. Divorce was an infrequent occurrence in the early 1900s, especially among European royalty, making Victoria Melita's decision to leave her husband and marry Grand Prince Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia even more shocking. Born in 1876 as the second daughter of Prince Alfred and his wife, Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, Victoria Melita's life was steeped in royalty and tradition. However, her marriage to Ernst Ludwig was fraught with dissatisfaction and unhappiness. In 1901, she left her husband and returned to her parents' home in Russia. Five years later, in 1906, Victoria Melita married Kirill, the younger brother of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II. The union was met with disapproval from the Russian imperial family and the European royal houses, who viewed the marriage as an import from Germany, which was then at odds with Russia. Despite the controversy, Victoria Melita and Kirill went on to have two daughters, Maria and Kira, who are seen in this photograph. The image captures a moment of joy and contentment, a testament to the strength and resilience of the princess, who defied convention and forged her own path in life. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a fascinating chapter in European royal history, a time when tradition and personal happiness collided, and one woman dared to make a decision that would change her life forever.
