EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Duke Charles Edward of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, flanked by his Duchess, Victoria Adelaide, and their children, pose for the camera in a moment of familial bliss. The Duke, with his stern yet gentle expression, is seated in the center, while the Duchess, dressed elegantly in a high-necked blouse and long skirt, gazes lovingly at her husband. To their left, their eldest son, Prince John Leopold, with his mop of curly hair and serious expression, sits attentively. Next to him, Princess Sybil, the youngest daughter, playfully peeks out from behind her mother's arm, her eyes twinkling with mischief. On the right side of the Duke, Prince Hubert and Princess Caroline complete the family portrait. The Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family, grandchildren of Queen Victoria and the Duke of Albany, were deeply connected to both Britain and Germany. However, as tensions between the two countries began to rise in 1914, Duke Charles Edward found himself in a difficult position. Holding a commission in the German army, he was torn between his national loyalty and his birthright as a British subject. Months after this photograph was taken, war broke out, and the Duke made the fateful decision to support Germany. This choice, which went against the wishes of many in the British monarchy and public, caused a great deal of controversy and controversy. The Duke and his family were ostracized from British society, and their loyalty was called into question. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, the Duke and his family remained steadfast in their commitment to each other, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their love and unity in the face of adversity. The backdrop of the Schleswig-Holstein conflict, which ignited the First World War, adds a historical significance to this family portrait, making it a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in European history.
