A Royal Holiday Tradition - Victoria, Albert, and the Royal Children Gathered Around the Christmas Tree at Windsor Castle (1848),
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from the annals of royal history, Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and her beloved consort, Prince Albert (1819-1861), are captured in a tender moment with their growing family, as they gather around the Christmas tree at Windsor Castle. The scene, which took place in 1848, showcases the joy and warmth of the holiday season as it was celebrated within the walls of the historic castle. The image, taken by the Illustrated London News (ILN), captures the essence of a cherished tradition that had only recently been introduced to the British monarchy by Prince Albert. Inspired by his German heritage, Albert brought the custom of having a Christmas tree to England, and the tradition quickly became a beloved part of the royal family's holiday celebrations. The photograph reveals a heartwarming tableau of the royal family, with Victoria and Albert seated on a plush sofa, surrounded by their children: Princess Royal Victoria (1840-1901), Prince Albert Edward (1841-1910), Princess Alice (1843-1878), Prince Alfred (1844-1900), and Princess Helena (1846-1923). The children are all dressed in their finest holiday attire, with rosy cheeks and bright eyes, as they gaze at the beautifully decorated tree, filled with candles, fruits, and handcrafted toys. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the private lives of the royal family, allowing us to connect with them on a human level and appreciate the love and joy that they shared during the holiday season. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the magic of Christmas, as it continues to bring families together, generation after generation.
