1883 1981 Albany Alexander Alice Athlone Countess Grand Daughter Lace Post Card Teck
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard image captures Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone (1883-1981), granddaughter of Queen Victoria, in a beautiful lace gown, adorned with intricate floral patterns. The Princess, who was born Alice Mary Victoria Alexandra Louise in Windsor Castle, England, in 1883, is seen here in her role as the wife of Prince Alexander of Teck. Princess Alice's marriage to Prince Alexander, who later became the Duke of York and eventually the King of Greece, took place on March 27, 1904, at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The couple's union was significant, as Alexander was the first member of the British royal family to marry a Greek royal. In this photograph, taken in 1981, the Princess, who was then in her late nineties, looks regal and elegant, her timeless beauty and grace evident even in old age. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history of the British monarchy and the enduring legacy of the House of Teck. Princess Alice's dress, with its delicate lace overlay and long, flowing sleeves, is a testament to the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The intricate lacework, reminiscent of the intricate designs found in Victorian-era garments, adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the image. The Princess's title, Countess of Athlone, was bestowed upon her in 1917, in recognition of her service to the British military during World War I. She served as the Governor-General of South Africa from 1952 to 1959, making her the first woman to hold the position. This postcard, with its captivating image of Princess Alice, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and elegance. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy and the enduring legacy of the House of Teck.
