EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Romance: The Wooing of Princess Victoria of Britain and Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia The tranquil countryside of the 1850s sets the stage for a tender moment in the evolving relationship between Princess Victoria of Britain, eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, and Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia, later Emperor Frederick III. In this enchanting image from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, the young couple is depicted in a pastoral idyll, their connection deepening amidst the natural beauty of the German landscape. Victoria, dressed in a elegant British gown, sits side-saddle on a horse, her regal bearing softened by the gentle touch of her suitor, Frederick, who presents her with a bouquet of flowers. The future Kaiserin, or Empress, of Germany, gazes at him with a smile, her eyes reflecting the warmth of their burgeoning love. Frederick, known affectionately as 'Fritz,' wears the traditional German uniform of a Jäger, or huntsman, emphasizing his connection to the land and his German heritage. The couple's shared appreciation for the great outdoors serves as a fitting backdrop for their courtship, which began in 1851 and culminated in their engagement in 1855. The image captures the essence of a romantic interlude, as the future monarchs of two great European powers find common ground amidst the rolling hills and verdant foliage. The photograph stands as a testament to the enduring power of love, transcending the boundaries of nations and uniting the hearts of two future rulers.
