EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment before the royal wedding of ex-King Manuel of Portugal and Princess Augusta Victoria of Hohenzollern, which took place on September 4, 1913, in Sigmaringen, Germany. The image features a family group gathered together before the marriage ceremony, with the bride's father, Prince William of Hohenzollern, standing proudly on the left. The former queen of Portugal, Amelie, is seen wearing a regal expression behind the Duke of Oporto, Manuel's uncle. The bride, Princess Augusta Victoria, is depicted in her bridal attire, radiant and beautiful, with her future husband, ex-King Manuel, standing confidently beside her. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the fact that Manuel had been dethroned just a few months earlier, in February 1910, following the Portuguese Republic revolution. Despite the political upheaval, the royal family came together to celebrate this union between the Portuguese ex-monarch and the German princess. This portrait offers a glimpse into the rich history of European royalty and the enduring power of family bonds, even in the face of political change.
