Background
One of Queen Ena's favourite pictures of her husband. Unfortunately, by this time they were already unhappy as she had bought haemophilia into the Spanish Royal family (as Queen Victoria's granddaughter) for which the King never forgave her. The Queen went as far as to pad the trees in the park to protect her two eldest sons. From her private album.
