EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, newlyweds Prince Louis of Hesse and his bride, former Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, are seen departing from the Isle of Wight aboard the royal yacht Victoria and Albert. The date is 8 July 1862, and the couple is en route to their new home in Darmstadt, Germany. Prince Louis, the third son of Grand Duke Ludwig III of Hesse and Princess Alice, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, had married on 1 July 1862 in a grand ceremony at St. James's Palace in London. The newlyweds' departure from England marked the beginning of their journey to establish their new life together in Hesse. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, named after the couple's grandparents, was a symbol of British maritime power and royal prestige. The vessel had been commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1855 and was known for its elegant design and advanced technology. As the yacht sailed away from the Isle of Wight, the crowds on the shore waved and cheered, wishing the happy couple well on their journey. The newlyweds' departure marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, and their union was an important diplomatic alliance between the United Kingdom and the Grand Duchy of Hesse. The photograph captures a moment of excitement and anticipation as the royal couple sets sail on their new journey, with the Isle of Wight and the English coastline serving as a picturesque backdrop to their departure. The image is a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of royal tradition, as well as the close relationship between the United Kingdom and the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the mid-19th century.
