EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from 1906, Emily Roose, a beloved nanny to the children of Prince and Princess Andrew of Greece, is captured in a tender moment with two of her young charges: Princess Margaret, later known as Princess Margarita of Hohenlohe-Langenberg, and Princess Theodora, who would later become Margravine of Baden. The scene unfolds in the sunlit drawing room of the royal residence, where the sisters, dressed in elegant Victorian attire, sit on a plush velvet sofa, gazing at Emily with adoring expressions. The eldest of the siblings, Princess Margaret, holds a baby in her arms, while baby Theodora rests on Emily's lap, her tiny hand reaching up to touch her nanny's face. Emily Roose, a devoted and caring nanny, played a significant role in the childhoods of the future monarch of the United Kingdom, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and his sisters. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into their early years, revealing a close bond between the nanny and her charges, as well as the idyllic atmosphere of their royal upbringing. The sisters' elegant attire and the ornate decor of the room further underscore the opulence and grandeur of their privileged existence. This portrait, taken in Greece in 1906, is a testament to the enduring influence of nannies on the lives of royal children and the special bond that can form between caregivers and their young charges. The photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, when the world's most famous families were raised in the loving care of dedicated nannies like Emily Roose.
