1867 Boer Died Eldest Helena Holstein Malaria Moustache Schleswig Serving Victor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures Prince Christian Victor of Schleswig-Holstein, eldest son of Princess Helena, the third daughter of Queen Victoria, in his military uniform as an officer during his service in the Boer War in 1900. Born on July 25, 1867, Christian was a beloved member of the British royal family, known for his distinctive moustache and strong resemblance to his grandmother, Queen Victoria. Tragically, Christian's time in the Boer War was cut short when he contracted malaria and passed away on February 2, 1901, at the age of 33. His death deeply affected the royal family and the British public, who mourned the loss of this young and promising prince. Princess Helena, who was deeply devoted to her son, was heartbroken by his passing. She had high hopes for Christian's future as a leader, having been impressed by his strong work ethic and dedication to his military career. Christian's death marked a sad chapter in the history of the British monarchy, and his memory continues to be honored as a brave and devoted soldier. This historical image, taken during Christian's military service, offers a glimpse into the life of this beloved prince and the sacrifices he made for his country. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring legacy of the British royal family.
