EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in European royal history as Prince George, later King George V of the United Kingdom, and his wife, Mary of Teck, Princess of Wales, leave the Royal Monastery of San Geronimo (San Jeronimo el Real) in Madrid on the day of the grand wedding of King Alfonso XIII of Spain and Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg on May 31, 1906. The 13th century monastery, a stunning architectural masterpiece, served as the backdrop for the royal nuptials, which united the Spanish and British monarchies. The newlyweds, King Alfonso XIII and Princess Victoria Eugenie, were surrounded by an array of European royals, including King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, who was the groom's father, and his niece and the bride, Victoria Eugenie. This historic moment marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the royal couples, as they embarked on their respective reigns and marriages. The elegant Princess Mary of Teck, dressed in an exquisite gown, and her husband, Prince George, looked resplendent as they descended the church steps, ready to join the festivities that awaited them. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of European royalty, and a reminder of the enduring bonds between the monarchies of Spain and the United Kingdom.
