EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, newlyweds Dom Miguel, the Duke of Viseu, and Miss Anita Stewart are captured in a tender moment shortly after their wedding ceremony at Tulloch Castle in Scotland, in September 1909. The Duke, the eldest son of the former King of Portugal, Dom Miguel I, and grandson of the monarch who was deposed in 1853, is seen wearing his military uniform, a symbol of his noble heritage and his position as a high-ranking officer in the Portuguese Army. His American bride, Anita Stewart, looks radiant in her elegant white wedding gown, adorned with intricate lace and beading. The couple's union marked a significant departure from the Portuguese royal family's long and tumultuous history. In July 1920, Dom Miguel had renounced his rights to the Portuguese throne, choosing instead to live in exile in Scotland with his new wife and their three children. The decision came after years of political instability and turmoil, which saw the monarchy overthrown and Portugal becoming a republic. The wedding ceremony at Tulloch Castle, a picturesque 13th-century fortress nestled in the Scottish Highlands, was a fitting location for the couple's nuptials. The castle, which had been restored by its then-owner, Sir James Matheson, provided a romantic and historic backdrop for the occasion. The image of the happy couple, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape, serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the complex interplay of history, politics, and personal relationships. This photograph, a testament to the enduring power of love and the resilience of the human spirit, is an invaluable addition to any collection of historical images, shedding light on a fascinating moment in the annals of Portuguese and American history.
