The Princess Frederick William of Prussia promenading in the garden of the palace at... 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Princess Frederick William of Prussia promenading in the garden of the palace at Charlottenburg, 1860. Mr. Ludwig Loeffler, of Berlin, has forwarded to us a Sketch...of a pleasing incident in the home life of our Princess Royal [daughter of Queen Victoria]. In April this year the Princess was walking in the garden of the Palace in Charlottenburg, near Berlin, when she met a little girl who was going to fetch some flowers from the gardener, for the purpose of making a garland for the grave of her little brother, who had recently died. The Princess herself had gathered a great number of violets, and borrowed from the child her basket to take them in, desiring her to come on the next day to the same place, when she should receive back her basket. Very unfavourable weather, however, prevented the Princess from keeping her appointment: but the Prince met the child instead, and handed to her not only the filled basket but a nice dress, as a present from "his wife". From "Illustrated London News", 1860. News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Frederick William of Prussia, the beloved daughter of Queen Victoria, is seen gracefully promenading through the beautiful garden of Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, Germany, in the year 1860. The Princess, who was known for her kind and compassionate nature, was taking a leisurely stroll among the blooming flowers, when she came across a young girl picking violets to make a garland for her late brother's grave. Moved by the child's grief and the simplicity of her gesture, the Princess offered to help her gather more flowers and even lent her basket to carry them. Unfortunately, unfavorable weather prevented the Princess from keeping her promise to return the basket the following day. However, the little girl's encounter with the Princess left a lasting impression on her, as the Prince consort, Frederick William, later met the girl and presented her with a new dress as a gift from his wife. This heartwarming incident, which embodied the Princess's caring and generous spirit, was captured in this exquisite photograph, which has been passed down through the generations as a testament to her kindness and compassion. The photograph, which was taken by an unknown artist, has been preserved in the archives of Heritage Images and offers a rare glimpse into the private life of the Princess, who was known for her beauty, grace, and humanitarian efforts. The image captures the essence of a moment of genuine connection between two individuals, highlighting the enduring power of empathy and compassion, even in the most trying of times.
