EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the infant Prince Ernst August of Hanover, born on November 17, 1914, during a tumultuous time in European history. The baby prince, the only son of Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, Duchess of Brunswick, is depicted in this image as he was announced as a Royal Highness and Prince of Great Britain and Ireland in the prestigious British publication, The Sketch magazine. The announcement came as Europe was on the brink of the First World War, with tensions between the major European powers reaching a boiling point. Princess Victoria Louise was the only daughter and youngest child of Kaiser Wilhelm II, making Prince Ernst August a member of both the German and British royal families through his mother and father, respectively. His dual heritage reflected the complex web of Anglo-German relations that would soon be tested by the events of the war. The young prince's title and status were a result of his father's marriage to Princess Sophie of the United Kingdom, who was the eldest daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. This union, known as the Anglo-German marriage, was a significant diplomatic move aimed at fostering peace between the two nations. However, the outbreak of war just a few months after Prince Ernst August's birth dashed any hopes for a peaceful resolution. Despite the ominous backdrop, this photograph offers a moment of respite, capturing the innocence and promise of a new life amidst the uncertainty and turmoil of the time. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the intricate royal connections that crisscrossed Europe in the early 20th century and the historical significance of the events that unfolded during this period.
