EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1913, Queen Sophie of Greece, formerly Princess Sophie of Prussia, is seen engrossed in an issue of The Sketch magazine on the sandy shores of Eastbourne, England. Accompanied by her husband, King Constantine I of Greece, their eldest daughter Princess Helen, and their youngest son, Prince Alexander (later King Alexander I of Greece), the royal family enjoyed a relaxing holiday by the English seaside. However, the serene scene was not to last as the press, always eager for a glimpse into the personal lives of the royals, had set up camp nearby. In an attempt to evade the prying eyes of the photographers, Queen Sophie cleverly hid herself behind the pages of The Sketch, creating an intriguing tableau. The Sketch, an influential illustrated weekly magazine, was known for its coverage of fashion, society, and current events. The fact that Queen Sophie chose to read it during their family vacation speaks to its popularity and widespread appeal. The photograph not only captures a moment of respite for the Queen but also highlights the role of the media in the lives of the royalty during this era. The image, taken in 1913, offers a fascinating glimpse into the private lives of the Greek royals and their holiday by the English coast. The family's casual attire, the relaxed atmosphere, and the Queen's playful interaction with the magazine all contribute to the charm of this timeless photograph. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the seaside, the captivating power of a good read, and the intriguing dynamics between the royals and the press. It is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of a family vacation.
