EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and elegant image captures the moment of betrothal between Princess Marie of Edinburgh (1875-1938) and Prince Ferdinand Victor of Romania (1865-1927) on the 10th of January 1893. The Princess, dressed in a stunning white gown with a high neckline and intricate lace detailing, gazes lovingly into the eyes of her future husband, Prince Ferdinand. The Prince, dressed in military uniform, places a tender hand on Marie's shoulder, expressing his deep affection for her. The marriage between the two royals was highly anticipated, as they came from prominent European royal families. Marie was the eldest daughter of Prince Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia. Ferdinand, on the other hand, was the Crown Prince of Romania. Their union was expected to strengthen the ties between the two countries. Despite the grandeur of their wedding day, the marriage itself was not a happy one. Marie and Ferdinand had six children together, but their relationship was marked by numerous conflicts and infidelities. Marie's strong-willed personality and Ferdinand's womanizing ways led to a tumultuous marriage. The couple's differences were often played out in public, causing scandal and embarrassment for the Romanian royal family. This portrait, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into a moment of joy and hope before the challenges of their marriage began to surface. The image serves as a reminder of the complexities of royal life and the intricacies of human relationships.
