EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment of the wedding day of King Alfonso XIII of Spain and his bride, Princess Ena of Battenberg, on May 31, 1886. Princess Ena, the eldest daughter of Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom and granddaughter of Queen Victoria, is seen here in her elegant bridal attire, adorned with a beautiful lace veil and carrying a cascading bouquet of white roses and jasmine. King Alfonso XIII, dressed in his full regal uniform, gazes lovingly at his new bride as they exchange vows in a grand ceremony held at the Royal Palace of Madrid. The union of Alfonso and Ena was a significant event in European royal history, as it strengthened the political ties between Spain and the United Kingdom. The couple's marriage also marked the beginning of a new era for Spain, as Alfonso was only 17 years old at the time and needed a strong and experienced consort to help him govern. This photograph, taken in 1886, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of royal weddings during the late 19th century. The intricate details of the bridal gown, the ornate decorations of the palace, and the formal attire of the guests all contribute to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds this momentous occasion. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to witness a piece of European royal history that continues to captivate and inspire us to this day.
