EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the elegant Room in Heidelberg's Hotel Prinz Carl where the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra were betrothed in 1862. The image transports us back to the early 1900s and the height of the Edwardian era. The room, adorned with exquisite interior design, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. The richly textured carpet underfoot sets the tone for the sumptuous decor. Regal chairs, upholstered in a deep red velvet, flank a large, ornate table. The table, draped in a crisp, white tablecloth, is set for a formal occasion, with gleaming silverware and delicate china. The room's ceiling is a marvel in itself, adorned with intricate roses and other floral motifs, adding to the romantic ambiance. A large mirror reflects the warm glow of the room, while tall windows let in the natural light, framing the breathtaking view of Heidelberg's picturesque landscape. The atmosphere in this room was filled with excitement and anticipation as the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, and Princess Alexandra of Denmark, pledged their love and commitment to each other. The betrothal of the future monarch and his bride-to-be took place on June 27, 1862, and their marriage was celebrated throughout Europe. This photograph, taken in 1902, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the historic moment that unfolded in this very room over a century ago.
