Gustav V of Sweden & Queen Victoria (Princess of Baden)

Gustav surrounded by royal ladies



 

I'm thinking they are:

Back row: Margarethe of Sweden (niece), Sybilla (granddaughter-in-law), Martha (niece), Astrid (niece), Ingeborg (sister-in-law), Ingrid (granddaughter)
Front row: Crown Princess Louise (daughter-in-law) and ??

Gustav surrounded by royal ladies



 

I acknowledge Crown Princess Louise of Sweden and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark sitting with the king of Sweden. Standing behind are : Margareta, Sybille, Martha, Astrid,  Ingeborg and Ingrid. This picture therefore dates before 1936. Great find in any case, totally new for me.

Gustaf V's Sweden, the country Maria Pavlovna could not understand, the strange place where even peasants had lace curtains and a Falu-red picket fence....: Alla vi barn i Bullarbyn :-)

I have a question, why did Gustav and Victoria get married in Karlsruhe (in Baden) and not in Stockholm?

Great picture, Svetabel.

Victoria and Gustav with Queen Alexandra, Louise and Toria and their second son, Prince Wilhelm in 1905.

Does anybody have anymore pictures from this sitting by any chance (I've only seen the one of Alexandra with Toria and Louise)?

There are ones of each of the women separately but I don't know of any other group ones. I always wonder why this particular group? Alexandra's there but not Edward VII, the Connaughts aren't there along with the parents of the groom, neither of the bride's siblings are there but the grooms are and 2 cousins who she wasn't particularly close to (Louise and Toria) are in the photo.

Any of Alexandra in particular? I've always thought that this series along with the 1887 Jubilee series (with the Stars) are Alexandra looking her regal best. 

And nice to talk to you again grandduchessella after a long time!
