EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment in time as Princess Alice, the second daughter and third child of Queen Victoria, poses with her husband, Grand Duke Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt, and their two eldest children, Victoria and Elisabeth, in England around 1867. Princess Alice, born in 1843, was known for her beauty and vivacious personality, making her a favorite among her family and the public. Her marriage to Grand Duke Louis, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt, was a love match, and they had seven children together. In this image, Alice, dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, sits between her husband and eldest daughter Victoria, who is wearing a white dress and holding a bouquet of flowers. Elisabeth, known as Ella, stands beside her father, wearing a frilly white dress and holding a doll. The family's affectionate expressions and relaxed poses convey a sense of happiness and contentment. The photograph was likely taken during a visit to England, where the Hesse-Darmstadt family frequently spent time due to Queen Victoria's close relationship with her daughter. Alice and her husband's time in England was a happy period in their lives, and they were well-loved by the British people. Tragically, Princess Alice's life was cut short when she drowned in a shipwreck off the coast of Greece in 1878, at the age of 34. Her death was a shock to the royal family and the public, and she was mourned deeply. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Alice's happy family life and her enduring legacy as a beloved princess and mother.
