EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in history as Queen Amélie of Portugal (1865-1951), dressed in a nurses uniform, is seen outside the Carlton Hotel in Paris in 1916. Amélie, the consort of King Carlos I of Portugal, had arrived in France to offer her support to the Allied war efforts during World War I. The Carlton Hotel, a grand establishment located in the heart of Paris, had been transformed into a Russian hospital to care for wounded soldiers. In the image, the Queen is seen conversing with Madame Iswolsky, the wife of the Russian Ambassador, who is also dressed in a nurses uniform. The two women, both royals, are engaged in a heartfelt conversation, their expressions conveying a sense of compassion and solidarity. The bystander, a soldier, looks on with admiration and respect. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the role of royalty during wartime, as they put aside their titles and privileges to serve their countries and their people. The image is a testament to the human spirit and the resilience of those who lived through the tumultuous events of World War I. The nurses' uniforms, the military backdrop, and the somber atmosphere of the scene underscore the gravity of the situation and the sacrifices being made by all involved. This powerful image, taken in 1916, is a poignant reminder of a time when the boundaries between royalty and the common people were blurred by the shared experience of war.
