EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the radiant beauty and youthful grace of Princess Helena, third daughter and fifth child of the illustrious Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, on her wedding day. The princess, born on May 25, 1846, married Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein on July 5, 1866, at the age of twenty-one. Despite the fifteen-year age difference between the young bride and her husband, the marriage proved to be a happy and lasting one. Princess Helena's elegant bridal attire, featuring a high neckline, long sleeves, and a full skirt, was in keeping with the Victorian era's fashionable bridal trends. Her veil, adorned with pearls and lace, adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the scene. Prince Christian, a man of distinguished character and mature wisdom, is depicted here in his military uniform, reflecting his role as a prince and a soldier. The couple's union was significant, as it strengthened the relationship between the British and German royal families. The wedding took place at the Chapel Royal in St. James's Palace, London, in the presence of the royal family and numerous dignitaries. The joyous occasion marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership between the young princess and her older husband, who passed away in 1917. This evocative photograph, taken in 1866, is a testament to the enduring love and commitment of Princess Helena and Prince Christian, and offers a glimpse into the rich history of the British monarchy during the Victorian era.
