Princess Irene of Hesse - A Royal Legacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Princess Henry of Prussia, also known as Irene of Hesse, taken on 19 March 1892. Born on 11 July 1866, Irene Maria Anna was the third daughter of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom and Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine. With Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as her maternal grandparents, and Prince Charles of Hesse and by Rhine along with Princess Elizabeth of Prussia as her paternal grandparents, Irene's lineage boasted a rich royal heritage. Irene's younger sister Alix would go on to become the empress consort to Nicholas II in Russia while her brother Ernst ascended to become Grand Duke of Hesse. On 24 May 1888, she entered into matrimony with Prince Albert Wilhelm Heinrich of Prussia – a significant union between two prominent German families. This print not only captures the elegance and grace that defined Princess Irene but also serves as a testament to her place within European royalty. Her life intertwined with some pivotal moments in history, making this image all the more precious. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded not only of her beauty but also her enduring legacy within the annals of royalty.
