EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, published in the Tatler on 8th December 1909, captures a rare moment of familial warmth between Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain and her brothers, Prince Maurice, Prince Leopold of Battenberg, and Prince Albert Alexander. The image was taken earlier in the year on the Isle of Wight, with the Queen's eldest brother, Prince Leopold, who was seriously ill in London at the time. The brothers' faces radiate affection and concern for their sister, who had only recently ascended to the Spanish throne following the abdication of her husband, King Alfonso XIII. The Tatler, a prominent society magazine of the Edwardian era, was known for its coverage of high-profile events and influential figures. This photograph, with its intimate portrayal of the royal family, would have been of great interest to the magazine's affluent readership. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the close familial bonds that existed within the Spanish royal family during a time of political upheaval. The brothers' sartorial elegance is on full display, with Prince Maurice and Prince Albert Alexander both wearing formal suits, while the Queen dons a flowing, high-necked gown adorned with intricate lace detailing. The photograph's composition, with the Queen positioned in the center and her brothers flanking her, emphasizes the familial connection between them. The image also offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the European aristocracy during the early 20th century, with its grand settings and elegant attire.
