"Saxe Coburg and Gotha: A Royal Legacy Captured in Time" Step into the captivating world of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, a dynasty that left an indelible mark on history. Edward VII, King of the United Kingdom from 1901, was not only a monarch but also a symbol of change and progress. In these remarkable photographs, we catch glimpses of his extraordinary life. The woodburytype portrait showcases Edward VII as Prince of Wales, exuding regal charm even before ascending to the throne. As we delve deeper into his reign, we witness poignant moments like The Funeral of King Edward VII in May 1910 – a solemn occasion that marked the end of an era. Yet amidst somber events, there were joyous occasions too. The marriage between Prince Edward (later known as Edward VII) and Alexandra of Denmark radiates love and elegance in marble form. This union would shape their destiny and leave an enduring legacy for future generations. From celebrations during his coronation to visits abroad with Queen Alexandra by his side, King Edward VII's presence commanded attention wherever he went. Whether it be at the Opera House in Paris or aboard French warship Massena in Portsmouth harbor – he embodied diplomacy and international relations. Four generations captured on canvas immortalize Queen Victoria's reign alongside her son King Edward VII and grandson Prince Edward – a testament to their enduring influence on British society. As we explore these images frozen in time, they offer us more than just visual delight; they provide insight into an era defined by change, progress, love, loss, celebration, and duty. Saxe Coburg and Gotha may no longer bear its name today but its impact lives on through these snapshots from history - reminding us all that royalty is not simply about crowns but about leaving behind a lasting imprint on our collective memory.
