EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Princes Oskar and Joachim of Prussia, younger siblings of Kaiser Wilhelm II, are seen dressed in Highland attire alongside their sister, Princess Viktoria Luise. The image, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases the children's playful and carefree demeanor, as they pose together in a scenic outdoor setting. Oskar, born in 1888, and Joachim, born in 1890, were the grandsons of Vicky, Princess Royal of Great Britain and Dowager Empress of Prussia. Their older sister, Viktoria Luise, was born in 1892. The three siblings were raised in the grandeur of the German Imperial Palace in Berlin, with their father, Kaiser Wilhelm II, who ruled as the German Emperor from 1888 until his abdication in 1918. In this photograph, Oskar and Joachim are dressed in traditional Scottish Highland garb, complete with kilts, sporrans, and feather bonnets. Joachim, who was only five years old at the time, sports particularly long ringlets, adding a charming touch to the image. Viktoria Luise, who was around 13 or 14 years old, complements her brothers' outfits with a flowing tartan dress and a matching shawl. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of the young German royals, who were part of a rich and complex historical context. Their grandfather, Kaiser Wilhelm II, was a controversial figure, known for his imperialist policies and his strained relationship with the British monarchy, represented by their grandmother, Vicky. The siblings' lives were marked by the political turmoil of the early 20th century, culminating in the First World War and the eventual fall of the German monarchy in 1918. This photograph, taken around 1915, captures a moment of joy and innocence amidst the larger historical narrative. It serves as a reminder of the human side of history, and the lives of the people who shaped it.
