EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1896, Princess Maud of Wales, the youngest daughter of King Edward VII, and her new husband, Prince Carl (later King Haakon VII of Norway,) are seen departing from Buckingham Palace following their marriage in the Private Chapel of the palace on 27 July 1896. The newlyweds, dressed in their wedding finery, sit elegantly in an open horse-drawn carriage, waving to the cheering crowds that line the route. The scene is one of joy and celebration, as the people of London and beyond come out to wish the happy couple well on their journey as man and wife. Princess Maud, who was born in 1869, was the youngest child of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. She married Prince Carl of Denmark, who would later become King Haakon VII of Norway, in a private ceremony at Buckingham Palace. The couple's marriage was a significant event in European royal history, as it marked the beginning of a long and close relationship between the United Kingdom and Norway. The procession through the streets of London was a grand affair, with the newlyweds' carriage drawn by a team of fine horses and escorted by members of the British military. The crowds that gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal couple were a testament to the enduring popularity of the British monarchy, and the excitement surrounding the marriage of a young princess to a prince from a neighboring European country. As the carriage makes its way through the throngs of well-wishers, it is clear that this is a moment that will be remembered for generations to come. The newlyweds' departure from Buckingham Palace marks the beginning of their married life together, and the start of their honeymoon journey to Denmark, where they would be crowned King and Queen of Norway. This photograph captures the essence of a historic moment in royal history, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the British monarchy and the excitement that surrounds the weddings and marriages of its members.
