EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken in 1903, we see Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, also known as Charlie or the Duke of Albany, proudly wearing his military uniform. Born on October 22, 1884, in London, England, Charlie became the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1899, following the death of Prince Alfred's only son and the subsequent decline of the British branch of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family. At the age of thirteen, Charlie was uprooted from his life at Eton and England and sent to Germany, despite hardly knowing the language. The Kaiser suggested that he be sent to Lichterfelde military academy at Potsdam, and from there, he went on to Bonn. Just a week after his sixteenth birthday, he inherited the Coburg title. In this photograph, the young Duke exudes confidence and poise as he stands before the camera, his uniform immaculate and adorned with various decorations and insignia. The image captures a pivotal moment in Charlie's life, as he embarks on his new role as Duke and begins to forge his own identity in a foreign land. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the complex web of European royal families and their interconnected histories. This photograph is a testament to the rich and intriguing history of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha dynasty, and the fascinating story of Charlie's unexpected journey to become Duke. The image is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the life of a young royal in the early 20th century.
