EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the scene of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's Plantagenet Ball held at Buckingham Palace on 12 May 1842. In a delightful departure from the usual fashion of the time, the royal couple and their esteemed guests donned elaborate 14th-century costumes, transporting the guests back to the medieval era. Victoria and Albert graced the occasion as King Edward III and Queen Philippa of Hainault, adding an air of magic and fantasy to the grand event. The guests, all dressed in rich velvets, brocades, and satins, adorned with jewels and intricate embroidery, mingled and danced the night away in the opulent surroundings of Buckingham Palace. The atmosphere was filled with joy, merriment, and a sense of history coming alive. The Plantagenet Ball was a unique and memorable event in the annals of British royal history. It showcased the creativity, imagination, and love for history that Victoria and Albert shared, as well as their ability to bring people together in a celebration of the past. The image captures the essence of the evening, a night of enchantment, wonder, and joy that will forever be remembered in the annals of royal history.
