EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, the Wales family, led by Alexandra, Princess of Wales, gathers in mourning for Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale. The image, taken in January 1892, captures the royal family in the aftermath of the sudden and tragic death of the Duke from influenza at the young age of 28. Alexandra, who was known for her deep love of animals, is depicted in the photograph with her four children: Princesses Maud, Alexandra, Victoria, and Prince George. The family is dressed in full mourning attire, with dark clothing and veils, reflecting the somber mood of the occasion. Despite the sorrowful setting, the presence of the family's loyal dog adds a touch of warmth and comfort to the scene. The dog, whose breed is not clear from the image, sits at the feet of the Princess, its head resting on her skirt, as if offering its support and companionship in this time of grief. Prince Albert Victor, who was next in line to the throne, was a beloved figure in British society and his sudden death came as a shock to the nation. The Wales family, particularly Alexandra, were deeply affected by the loss, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their mourning and the enduring bond between humans and their pets. The photograph is a historical record of a significant moment in British royal history and demonstrates the deep emotions and connections that exist within families, even in the face of great tragedy.
