Four of Queen Victoria’s grandchildren, the children of Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry of Battenberg. They are Prince Alexander (1886-1960), Princess Ena (1887-1969), Prince Leopold (1889-1922) and Prince Maurice (1891-1914). This is a mourning photograph, commemorating the death of their father. They are all looking at a photograph frame, it’s most likely a picture of their father. He died of malaria whilst serving with the Britsh Army out in West Africa in 1896, aged 38.
