EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a historic moment in European royal history, as guests gathered to celebrate the marriage of Princess Alice of Battenberg to Prince Andrew of Greece at Darmstadt on 7 October 1903. The elegant wedding ceremony took place at the Grand Ducal Palace, with a grand assembly of European nobility in attendance. Among the distinguished guests were Tsar Nicholas II and Tsaritsa Alexandra of Russia, who are seen here with their children, including Grand Duchess Olga, Grand Duchess Tatiana, and Grand Duke Alexei. Princess Alice, the eldest daughter of Prince Louis of Battenberg, was a popular figure in European royal circles, and her marriage to Prince Andrew, the second son of King George I of Greece, was a highly anticipated event. The couple went on to have five children, including Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who would later marry Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. The marriage of Princess Alice and Prince Andrew marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the young royals, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of European royal weddings at the turn of the 20th century. The elegant attire, the regal bearing of the guests, and the joyful expressions on their faces all serve to transport us back in time, offering a fascinating window into the world of European royalty and the history of the early 20th century.
