HRH Prince Louis of Battenberg: A Naval Prince of the 1910s Royal Family This striking photograph captures HRH Prince Louis of Battenberg, 1st Marquess of Milford Haven (1854-1921), a German prince with close ties to the British Royal Family, in his full naval uniform as 1st Sea Lord of the British Navy. The image, taken around 1910, portrays Prince Louis with a confident and authoritative demeanor, gazing through a telescope with one hand while holding his cap in the other. His thick beard and distinguished features add to his regal and formidable appearance. Born in Germany, Prince Louis joined the British Navy in 1871 and rose through the ranks to become 1st Sea Lord in 1912, a position he held until his retirement in 1914. However, due to growing anti-German sentiment at the start of World War I, Prince Louis was forced to relinquish his position and leave the country. Despite his German heritage, Prince Louis remained deeply loyal to the British Crown and continued to serve the monarchy in various capacities throughout his life. He was a beloved member of the Royal Family and is remembered for his significant contributions to the British Navy. This photograph provides a glimpse into the life of a complex and fascinating figure, whose personal and professional stories intersected with major historical events of the early 20th century.
