EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein, second son of Prince and Princess Christian (Princess Helena) and grandson of Queen Victoria, at Sunningdale Golf Club in 1914. Unlike his elder brother, Christian, who served with the British Army during World War I, Albert chose to join the Prussian Army despite being excused military service against the British. The image shows Albert in a relaxed moment, engaged in his beloved sport of golf. As captain of Sunningdale Golf Club, he was an accomplished player and an active participant in the golfing community. The First World War had begun just a few months prior to this photograph, and although Albert was a German prince, he was well-respected in British society due to his close familial ties to the British monarchy. This historical portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a royal figure navigating the complexities of international relations during a time of global conflict. The image is a poignant reminder of the personal connections and shared interests that transcended the political tensions of the era.
