EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, The Hon. Alice Keppel (1869-1947) and her husband, George Keppel, 7th Earl of Albemarle, are seen taking a leisurely stroll through Hyde Park in London during the summer of 1913. Alice, a well-known figure in British society, was famously the mistress of King Edward VII, the reigning monarch at the time. Despite their romantic involvement, Alice managed to maintain a respectable public image by continuing to live with her husband, George. The image showcases the elegant couple, both dressed in fashionable attire of the era, enjoying a quiet moment together amidst the lush greenery of the park. Alice, with her striking features and confident demeanor, holds her husband's arm as they walk, while George looks intently at her with a loving expression. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of royal and high society during the early 20th century. Alice's relationship with King Edward VII was a well-kept secret, but her public appearances with her husband allowed her to maintain her position in society while satisfying the king's affections. The image also serves as a reminder of the intricate dance between public perception and private reality that was common in the lives of the wealthy and powerful during this period. Hyde Park, with its rich history and iconic status as a popular gathering place for Londoners, provides the perfect backdrop for this intriguing scene. The peaceful setting, combined with the enigmatic nature of the subjects, makes this photograph a captivating and intriguing piece of historical record.
