EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment when King Edward VII was proclaimed to the people of London from the balcony of St. James Palace on January 24, 1901. The seventh monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, King Edward VII ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria. The scene is one of grandeur and tradition, with the King flanked by members of the British nobility, including the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal, and the Duke of Albemarle, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The heralds, dressed in their distinctive robes and carrying the royal arms, stand at the ready to proclaim the new monarch to the gathered crowd. The pageantry and ceremony of the moment reflect the deep sense of history and tradition that surrounds the British monarchy. The King, dressed in the robes of state, gazes out at the cheering crowd with a confident and regal expression, signaling the beginning of a new era in British history. The balcony of St. James Palace, overlooking the bustling streets of London, serves as the perfect backdrop for this iconic moment in British history.
