EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tender moment in the life of Princess Alexandra of Wales (1844-1925), later Queen Alexandra, consort to King Edward VII of Britain, with her two eldest sons, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (1864-1892) and Prince George (1865-1936), later King George V, in circa 1876. The image showcases the strong bond between mother and sons, as they pose for the camera in a cozy and relaxed setting. The Princess, dressed in an elegant Victorian gown, cradles her youngest son, Prince George, on her lap, while her eldest son, Prince Albert Victor, stands beside them, wearing a traditional Scottish kilt, complete with a sporran and tartan sash. The boys' youthful faces and playful expressions add a touch of innocence and joy to the scene. This photograph holds significant historical value, as it captures the young royal family just a few years before the tragic death of Prince Albert Victor from the influenza pandemic of 1889-1892. The loss of the eldest son deeply affected the Princess and the royal family, and she went on to dedicate her life to supporting her surviving son, George, who later became King George V. The photograph also highlights the fashion trends of the time, with the Princess's elegant Victorian gown and the boys' traditional Scottish kilts and sporrans. Overall, this image offers a glimpse into the personal lives of the British royal family during the late 19th century and the strong bond between a mother and her sons.
