EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young Kaiser Wilhelm II at the tender age of four, dressed in a traditional kilt. The kilt was worn by the young prince for the momentous wedding ceremony of his uncle, Edward, Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863. Wilhelm II, who would later become the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, stands proudly in his Scottish attire. His innocent face radiates curiosity and charm as he poses for this timeless portrait captured by an English photographer from the 19th century. The intricate tartan pattern on Wilhelm's kilt reflects both his Hohenzollern heritage and Stewart ancestry. A pageboy outfit is completed with a sporran hanging from his waist, adding an air of regality to this young royal's appearance. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into history as it intertwines with personal connections between prominent European families. It serves as a testament to the interconnectedness among European royalty during that era. Preserved within a private collection today, this image showcases not only Wilhelm II but also Edward VII - then King of Great Britain and Ireland - alongside Princess Alexandra of Denmark. The skillful workmanship behind Hills & Saunders photographic studio immortalizes these figures forevermore. A remarkable piece capturing innocence amidst grandeur; it invites us to reflect upon childhood memories entwined with historical significance.
