EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the four eldest daughters of Princess Alice of Battenberg and Prince Andrew of Greece, all future princesses in their own right, are captured in a moment of playful innocence around the turn of the 20th century. The eldest, Princess Cecilie, later known as Grand Duchess of Hesse-Darmstadt, stands on the left, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she holds a doll. Next to her, Princess Theodora, later Margravine of Baden, wears a serious expression, her hands clasped in front of her. Princess Margarita, later Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, is seated on the ground, her gaze fixed on something off-camera with a look of intense concentration. The youngest sister, Princess Sophie, later Princess Christoph of Hesse-Cassel and then Princess George William of Hanover, gazes up at her elder sisters with a curious expression. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the childhood of these royal sisters, who were the elder siblings of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Their father, Prince Andrew, was the third son of King George I of Greece, and their mother, Princess Alice, was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The family was exiled from Greece in 1917, and the sisters grew up in various European courts, eventually marrying into German and British nobility. The photograph, taken around 1916, is a poignant reminder of the sisters' happy childhood before the upheavals of the First World War and the family's exile. It is a testament to the enduring bond between siblings and the memories of a simpler time. The sisters' stories are an intriguing chapter in the history of European royalty, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into their early lives.
