EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Victoria of Hesse (1863-1950) is seen cradling her great-grandson, Ludwig Ernst Andreas of Hesse (b. 1932), in a tender moment of affection. The Princess, who was the eldest daughter of Grand Duchess Alice of Hesse (1843-1878), was married to Prince Louis of Battenberg (1854-1921). She later became the Marchioness of Milford Haven following her husband's title. The Princess is dressed elegantly in a long-sleeved, high-necked dress with a floral pattern, accessorized with a pearl necklace and a matching brooch. Her hair is styled in an intricate bun, adorned with a delicate headpiece. Her great-grandson, Ludwig, wears a cute little suit and a bow tie, gazing up at his grandmother with a curious expression. This photograph was taken in the early 1950s, a time when the Princess was in her late eighties. Despite her advanced age, she continues to display a warm and loving demeanor towards her great-grandson. The image captures the strong bond between the two, as well as the enduring legacy of the Hesse family. Princess Victoria was the maternal grandmother of the present Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, making her an important figure in the British royal family's history. Her father, Grand Duchess Alice, was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Consort Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, making her a granddaughter of the monarch. This connection to the British monarchy further emphasizes the significance of this photograph in the annals of royal history. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the familial connections that span generations and the importance of cherishing the bonds between family members. It is a beautiful testament to the love and care that transcends time and continues to be passed down through the generations.
