A Moment of Relaxation: Victoria, the Princess Royal, Holidaying in the South of France (1891) This photograph captures a moment of tranquility as Princess Victoria, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, takes a break from her royal duties to enjoy a holiday in the picturesque South of France. Dressed in a light, flowing summer dress, the Princess sits on the edge of a wooden rowboat, her parasol shielding her from the sun as she gazes out at the calm waters. The idyllic scene is set against the backdrop of the stunning French Riviera, with its rolling hills, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant gardens. The year is 1891, and the Princess has traveled to Grasse, a charming town nestled in the heart of the French Riviera. Known for its fragrant flowers and perfume industry, Grasse was a popular destination for the European elite seeking respite from their busy lives. The Princess's visit to this historic town marks an important moment in the annals of royal history, as she becomes one of the first members of the British royal family to vacation in the South of France. As the Princess prepares to step off the boat and explore the delights of Grasse, she is surrounded by the beauty and serenity of the French countryside. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a royal figure, providing a glimpse into the past and the rich history of European travel and leisure.
