1863 Alexandra Procession Trafalgar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of one of the most significant moments in British history: the marriage procession of Prince Edward, Prince of Wales, and Princess Alexandra of Denmark, which took place on the 7th of March, 1863, in Trafalgar Square, London. The newlyweds, both in their early twenties, are seen riding in an open carriage, waving to the cheering crowds that had gathered to witness the royal event. Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VII, is depicted in his full regalia, wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy, while Princess Alexandra, dressed in a beautiful white wedding gown and veil, sits beside him, looking radiant and happy. The procession made its way from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, where the couple exchanged their vows in a grand ceremony attended by members of the British royal family and European nobility. The marriage of Prince Edward and Princess Alexandra was a significant event, as it marked the end of a long period of mourning for the British people following the death of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, in 1861. Trafalgar Square, with its iconic fountains and Nelson's Column, provides a fitting backdrop for this historic moment. The square, which had been opened to the public only a few years earlier, had become a symbol of London's grandeur and modernity, making it the perfect location for such a grand procession. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the British monarchy was at the height of its power and influence. It is a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds Trafalgar Square and the British monarchy, making it a must-see destination for visitors to London.
