EDITORS COMMENTS
In this beautiful photograph, Princess Alice, third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria, is seen with her husband, Grand Duke Louis (Ludwig IV) of Hesse. The image was captured in 1862, following their marriage on the 1st of July at Osborne House. The ceremony took place beneath a portrait of Alice's recently deceased father, Prince Albert, who held a significant influence over her upbringing. Alice and Louis went on to have seven children together, including Grand Duchess Alix, who would later become the Tsaritsa of Russia. Their family was a close-knit one, and Alice was known for her devotion as a mother. Tragically, her life was cut short when she contracted diphtheria while nursing her children and passed away at the young age of 34. The Grand Duke of Hesse, born in 1843, was a beloved figure in European royal circles. His marriage to Princess Alice brought him into the British Royal Family, and the couple's union was celebrated widely. The photograph captures the tenderness and love shared between the couple, with Alice gazing lovingly at her husband. This image is a poignant reminder of the lives and loves of two remarkable individuals, whose legacies continue to shape European history. The photograph, taken in 1862, is an important historical document and a testament to the enduring power of love and family.
