EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and historic photograph, we find Princess Margarita of Greece (1905-1981) and Prince Gottfried of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1897-1960), captured in the year of their marriage, 1931. The couple, who were first cousins, shared a rich royal lineage. Princess Margarita was the eldest daughter of Princess Alice of Battenberg, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, and a great-granddaughter of Princess Alice of Hesse and the Rhine. Her elder brother is the current Duke of Edinburgh. On the other hand, Prince Gottfried was the son of Princess Alexandra of Edinburgh, the third daughter of Prince Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The couple's connection to the British and German royal families adds an intriguing layer to their story. Their marriage took place in Athens, Greece, and marked an important moment in European royal history. Despite their royal lineage, their union was not without controversy due to the political tensions between Greece and Germany at the time. However, their love for each other and their commitment to their marriage remained steadfast. This photograph, taken in the summer of 1931, captures the couple in their youth and happiness, dressed in their formal wedding attire. The image is a testament to their love story and the rich history of their royal lineage. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating look at the lives of these two remarkable individuals.
