EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tender moment between Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom (r. 1837-1901) and her grandson, Prince Wilhelm of Prussia (later Kaiser Wilhelm II) (1859-1941), during the 1860s. The image, taken around 1865, showcases the deep bond between the two royal figures. Queen Victoria, dressed elegantly in a dark gown with a lace collar, sits comfortably in a chair, her regal demeanor softened by her warm expression and gentle touch on Prince Wilhelm's shoulder. The young prince, wearing a military uniform, gazes intently at his grandmother, his hand resting on her lap. At the time of this photograph, Queen Victoria was in her late 40s, while Prince Wilhelm was just six years old. Despite the age difference, their relationship was strong, with the Queen playing an influential role in her grandson's upbringing. This close connection would continue throughout Wilhelm's life, shaping his political views and personal character. Prince Wilhelm's father, Prince Frederick William, had passed away in 1861, leaving his mother, Princess Victoria, to raise him. The Queen's influence on her grandson extended beyond familial matters, as she also played a significant role in the political landscape of Europe. Wilhelm's future reign as Kaiser of Germany (1888-1918) would be marked by his aggressive foreign policy and eventual involvement in World War I. This poignant photograph offers a glimpse into the personal side of two powerful monarchs, highlighting the enduring bond between a grandmother and her grandson.
