EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken in the early 1860s, we see Crown Princess Vicky of Prussia (Victoria, Princess Royal, later Empress Frederick, 1840-1901) and her husband, Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia (Friedrich Wilhelm, later Kaiser Friedrich III, 1820-1888), also known as "Fritz." The couple are the eldest child and eldest son, respectively, of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The image captures the young and vibrant energy of the couple in the prime of their lives. Vicky, dressed in a elegant white gown with a lace overlay, gazes tenderly at her husband, who wears the uniform of the Prussian Army. Fritz, with his strong jawline and piercing blue eyes, exudes confidence and leadership. At the time of this photograph, Vicky and Fritz had been married for several years, having wed in 1858. Their union was significant as it marked the first time that a British princess had married a German prince, and it helped to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. Despite their happy appearance in this photograph, the couple's marriage was not without its challenges. Vicky's strong-willed personality and Fritz's heavy drinking and womanizing caused tension between them. However, they remained devoted to each other and to their role as the future rulers of Prussia. This photograph is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the lives of two royal figures who played significant roles in European history. It is a reminder of the complex and intricate web of relationships that existed between the various European monarchies during this period. The image is a beautiful and poignant reminder of a bygone era, and it continues to captivate historians, genealogists, and anyone with an interest in royal history. It is a testament to the enduring power of photography to preserve history and bring the past to life.
