Queen Victoria photographed with the Battenbergs
Queen Victoria with the Battenbergs in 1889; Prince Henry of Battenberg holds his son Alexander ( Drino - later Marquess of Carisbrooke), while Princess Beatrice holds their only daughter, Ena (Victoria Eugenie Julia Ena, later Queen of Spain). Queen Victoria insisted that her youngest daughter remain at home with her after her marriage and so the Battenberg children were very much the children of the house, always with their grandmother and allowed to play in her room while she worked

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a tender moment between Queen Victoria and the Battenbergs in 1889. Prince Henry of Battenberg lovingly holds his son Alexander, who would later become Marquess of Carisbrooke, while Princess Beatrice cradles their only daughter, Ena, who would go on to become Queen of Spain.
Queen Victoria had a special bond with her youngest daughter Beatrice and insisted that she remain at home after her marriage. As a result, the Battenberg children became like grandchildren to the Queen, always by her side and allowed to play in her room while she worked.
The image showcases a family dynamic filled with love and closeness, highlighting the importance of familial relationships during this time in history. The innocence and joy captured in this photograph serve as a reminder of the simple pleasures found within family bonds.
Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are given a glimpse into the lives of royalty behind closed doors - where moments of playfulness and affection were just as cherished as formal ceremonies and public appearances. This print is not just an image but a piece of history that tells a story of love, tradition, and legacy passed down through generations.
