From the cradle to the throne and beyond: A historical exploration of queen regents, past and present. Witness the poignant moment of Queen Christina of Spain, as she takes the reins during her son Alfonso XIII's minority, swearing an oath to govern wisely at the Congress of Deputies in 1875 (The Accession of the King of Spain). Fast forward to the late 19th century, where Queen Maria Christina of Spain continues her reign as regent, depicted in a vintage engraving from the World Sovereigns series N34. Meanwhile, in Europe, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands embarks on her own regency journey, accompanied by her mother Emma, as they depart from Victoria Station in 1890 (Departure of Queen Wilhelmina and the Queen Regent of the Netherlands). And let us not forget the Swazi Queen, who boldly confronts British and Transvaal commissioners in an engraving from the same era. Delve deeper into the rich tapestry of history, as we uncover the stories of these remarkable women who ruled in the name of their minor or absent kings.
