EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures the moment of joy and anticipation as Princess Ena of Battenberg, later known as Queen Consort of Spain, exchanges engagement rings with her future husband, Alfonso XIII of Spain, on December 7, 1906. The historical image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rare and precious document of a significant moment in European royal history. Princess Ena, born Victoria Eugenie Julia Ena of Battenberg, was the youngest daughter of Prince Louis of Battenberg and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine. Her engagement to the Spanish Prince, who was 13 years her senior, was a politically strategic union aimed at strengthening the ties between Spain and the United Kingdom. The engagement took place at the Royal Palace of Madrid, surrounded by the couple's families and dignitaries. The elegant setting, with its ornate decor and grand architecture, is reflected in the couple's refined and regal attire. Ena's engagement gown, a stunning creation of ivory silk and lace, is a testament to the high fashion of the early 20th century. The engagement of Ena and Alfonso was a cause for celebration throughout Europe, and the couple's wedding in May 1906 was a grand affair attended by royalty and dignitaries from around the world. Their marriage lasted until Alfonso's death in 1941, and Ena went on to become a beloved and respected figure in Spanish society. This photograph, with its rich historical significance and beautiful composition, is an essential addition to any collection of royal or historical imagery. Imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, it offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the European royals at the turn of the 20th century.
