EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a poignant moment in British royal history - the planting of "The Prince Consort's Oak" by Queen Victoria herself in 1862. The oak tree was planted as a memorial to her beloved husband, Prince Albert, who tragically passed away at the young age of 42. The Queen chose the site at Flemish Farm near Windsor, where Prince Albert had last enjoyed shooting on his visit to the park.
In this image, we see Queen Victoria surrounded by Major-Generals Seymour and Hood, as well as other members of her household and park staff. It is a solemn scene filled with reverence and remembrance for a man who was not only her husband but also her closest confidant and advisor.
The significance of this oak tree goes beyond just being a simple memorial - it stands as a symbol of enduring love and loss that touched not only the royal family but also the entire nation. As we gaze upon this photograph taken over a century ago, we are reminded of the deep bond between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, immortalized in this majestic oak tree that still stands tall today.
