EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grand procession of the royal wedding party in the Throne Room at St. James Palace, London, on January 25, 1858. The occasion was the marriage of Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia (later known as Kaiser Fritz) to Princess Victoria (Vicky), who would become Crown Princess of Great Britain. The newlyweds, both in their early 20s, are seen surrounded by their families and dignitaries, including Emperor Frederick III of Germany and Empress Victoria II, who were Fritz's parents, and Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of the United Kingdom, Vicky's parents. The room's opulent interiors, with their rich colors and ornate details, serve as a fitting backdrop for this historic moment. Friedrich Wilhelm and Victoria's marriage was a significant political alliance between Prussia and Great Britain, as well as a personal union between two young royals. The couple would go on to have seven children, including the future Kaiser Wilhelm II. This photograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of royal weddings in the 1850s, as well as the close relationships between European royal families during this period. The Throne Room at St. James Palace, with its impressive size and ornate decorations, was the perfect setting for this grand procession. The room's high ceilings, intricate moldings, and grand fireplace are all on display, adding to the sense of grandeur and importance of the occasion. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions of European royalty, and the connections that once bound the continent together.
