Battenburg Beatrice Weds Youngest
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and historic photograph, Princess Beatrice of Great Britain and Ireland, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria, is seen on her wedding day as she exchanges vows with Prince Henry of Battenberg on July 23, 1885. Princess Beatrice, who was born on April 14, 1857, was known for her wit, intelligence, and independent spirit, making her a favorite among the royal family and the British people. Prince Henry, a grandson of Grand Duke Louis III of Hesse and by Rhine, was a popular figure in his own right, having served in the German army and gained a reputation as a brave and capable soldier. The couple's union was a significant event in European royal history, as it brought together two of the most prominent royal families of the time. The wedding ceremony took place at St. James's Palace in London, with Queen Victoria herself officiating the ceremony. The bride wore an ivory satin gown with a train carried by six bridesmaids, while the groom wore the uniform of the Royal Horse Guards. The wedding was a grand affair, with a procession through the streets of London and a reception held at Buckingham Palace. This photograph captures the joy and excitement of the moment as Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry become man and wife, surrounded by their families and the pomp and pageantry of a royal wedding. The image offers a glimpse into the customs and traditions of the British monarchy during this period, making it a valuable historical document and a beautiful work of art.
