If you mean this picture, the lady is Mary, The Princess
Royal, sister of G VI and aunt of QE II
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d4/B5218/coronation.jpg)
If you mean this picture, the Princess Royal is to the left in the picture. I don't know who the lady to the right in the picture is. I am sure somebody has the answer at his/her fingertips.

Mary the Princess Royal, Alice Duchess of Gloucester and Patsy Connaught.
-
Ack--beat to it! Yes, it's one of my favorites, Princess Patricia of Connaught, youngest child of Arthur, Duke of Connaught and first cousin to EII's grandfather George V.

Is it a race? :o ;D
-
Of course not! It's just that Patsy's one of my faves and I immediately saw her and was excited about exposing her to someone else. :) Besides, MrsE's one of my best friends and we have a friendly rivalry. ;)
-
She looks to be wearing some nice Jewels in that picture! :)
-

She wore a nice fringe tiara to the coronation of GVI but it doesn't look like the one she's wearing at EII's. I believe she inherited some jewels from her mother or perhaps she borrowed them.
-
Thank you GD Ella. Very interesting. :)
-

A selection of Lady Patricia's gems were sold by one of the big auction houses (Sotheby's/Christies)after her death. They included (from memory) a superb diamond rivere ,a big Edwardian bow brooch,numerous multi coloured clips and brooches and two tiara's.

[size=14]Another who is it ... from the wedding pictures of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Who is the lady standing next to Queen Mary?[/size]
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d4/B5218/whoisit.jpg)
-
Directly next to her is Princess Andrew of Greece (nee Alice of Battenberg), Philip's mother. Behind Queen Mary is, I believe, Earl Mountbatten's eldest daughter Patricia.
-
[size=12]Thanks! I didn't recognize her without a habit. I thought that it who it should be based on position in the photo, but I thought she was thinner during this period. [/size]
It is nice to see that this is running a little faster today.
-
Behind Queen Mary is, I believe, Earl Mountbatten's eldest daughter Patricia.
I believe it's his second daughter Pamela. And isn't the other bridesmaid pictured Margaret Elphinstone (later Rhodes), Princess Elizabeth's first cousin?
-
It could very well be. 'Modern' royals aren't my strong point. I usually like having some kind of ID in front of me. :)

Yes, it is Pamela. Below is a picture to compare:

I have a picture of a young man, probably Alfred, the only male son of Affie prince of Great Britain, duke of Edinbourgh and later duke of Saxe-Coburg, by his wife María Alexandrovna. But the man pictured had not resemblance with another pics I have seen of young Affie. Can anyone tell me if he is really Affie and when the picture was taken, please?
(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff260/helenintroy/AffieJrtheill-fated-1.jpg)
-
It's Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (1844-1900). I think it's a woodcut, isn't it? I can't tell you the exact date but it looks very similar to one done of him to coincide with his visit to Australia in 1868.
-
Like a repro from the ILN...His early days in the Royal Navy, before growing that beard. ;)
-
I have a picture of the wedding of the Prince of Wales in 1863:
http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/eGallery/object.asp?searchText=prince+of+wales+marriage&object=404545&row=15
Could anyone identify the woman at the left with the long purple train ?
-
I couldn't get it to magnify but isn't it the fuure Queen Marie Henriette of the Belgians?
-

She does resemble Marie Henriette.
-
Thank you both ;) It's indeed Marie Henriette ! Look at this photo, we see that it is the same dress as she's wearing at the marriage:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afbeelding:Maria_Hendrika_of_Belgium%2C_Duchesse_de_Brabant.jpg

Was that her marriage dress ?

I don't think that's her wedding dress, the style of the gown is the 1860s...
-
I mean that it's the dress she's wearing at the marriage of Alice. Look at the details of the train. ;)
-
Does anyone know who the old lady is in the wheelchair on the far right at this wedding group ? I don't have any idea ... :(

Sad...Don't know too much about Princess Mary of Hannover's later years.
-
I'd like to have a complete identification of the wedding group of Princess Elizabeth. I see clearly behind King George VI Crown Princess Louise of Sweden and Queen Ingrid of Denmark next to her. In the top row I see Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands next to King Haakon of Norway. In front of Bernhard is his wife Princess Juliana.
Could anyone help ?
http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalwedding1947/object.asp?grouping=&exhibs=PALACE&object=2805976&row=5&detail=magnify
-
Well the grooms family including Mountbatten (Uncle), Princess Alice of Greece (mother), Victoria of Milford-Haven (grandmother)...

Hello, Luc,
thanks for posting the picture, haven't seen it afore. It's an ardous job to identify some of the wedding-guests, the seat plan for the wedding reception (page 10 in the file) had been a good help. When I am not quite sure I put a ? behind the name. So let's start ...
Front row (left to right): Nada Marchioness of Milford Haven (?), Princess Alice of Greece, Princess Margaret, Prince William of Glouchester, David Mountbatten Marquess of Milford Haven, Princess now Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Michael of Kent, Princess Alexandra of Kent, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, Henry Duke of Glouchester, Prince Richard of Glouchester, Alice Duchess of Glouchester, ?, Princesses Helena-Victoria and Marie-Louise.
Second row (left to right): Prince Flemming of Denmark (son of Prince Axel and Princess Margaretha of Denmarik (eldest daughter of Carl and Ingeborg of Sweden), Lady Patricia Ramsey, Edwina Countess Mountbatten, Marina Duchess of Kent, Princess later Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, Queen Fredericia of Greece, Queen Mary, Queen Victoria Eiugenia (Ena) of Spain, Queen Ingrid of Denmark, Crown Princess later Queen Louise of Sweden, Irene of Greece Duchess of Aosta (? or her sister Queen Helen of Romania; both ladies were among the guests), ?.
Top row (left to right): King Peter of Jugoslavia, ? (covered by Edwina's hat), Louis Earl Mountbatten, Hon.-Col. Sir Alexander Ramsey, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, King Hakoon of Norway, Prince Regent Charles of Belgium (?), Prince George of Greece, Prince Rene of Bourbon-Parma, King Frederick of Denmark, King Michael of Romania, ?, ?.
It's an ardous job identifying some of the persons for there had been some members of the Danish Royal Family among the guests that are not so well-Known, for example Princess Margaretha of Denmark (who was accompanined by her son Flemming) or Princess Margarethe of Bourbon-Parma, who was accompanied by her husband Prince Rene and her daughter Anne and one or two of her sons).
Also among the guests were member of the Greek Royal Family as Princess Marie (George) of Greece and her daughter Eugenie, Lady Katherine Brandram and her husband, and Queen Alexandra of Jugoslavia.
I also miss Philip's grandmother, Princess Victoria Marchioness of Milford Haven, and his uncle, Crown-Prince later King Gustaf VI. of Sweden, and some members of the British Royal Family, Princess Alice Countess of Athlone and her husband the Earl of Athlone, her daughter Lady May Abel-Smith and the Marquis and Marchioness of Carisbrooke who were among the wedding guests.
Regards,
Gabriella.

Hello Gabriella,
So many thanks, :) As you said, the Dowager Marchioness of Milford-Haven is not on this photo, but on this:
http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalwedding1947/object.asp?row=4&exhibs=PALACE&grouping=
-
Yes. Thanks I did remember she was there. Although all three of Philip's sisters were not there. (Margarita, Theodora and Sophie)
-
Alright, I've got a question, can someone identify left to right Queen Elizabeth's bridesmaids?
http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/royalwedding1947/object.asp?grouping=&exhibs=PALACE&object=2805974&row=3&detail=magnify
On the far left I think is Margaret Elphinstone and next to her Lady Pamela Mountbatten. The next one I don't know and then Alexandra of Kent. Next to Princess Elizabeth stands Princess Margaret, but the ones to the right I can't identify at all.
That leaves Lady Caroline Montagu-Douglas-Scott, Lady Mary Cambridge, Lady Elizabeth Lambart, and Diana Bowes-Lyon.
-
Lady Pam looks very much like Dickie !
-
Good Job !
I sawa photo once of Princess Frederike of Hanover in all her finery at her cousin's coronation...
Could you please try to find it, Eric ? It would be very interesting !!!
-
It was offered in Ebay once but I lost the bid.
There is avery small photo of it in Sotheby's Hannover sale last year.
Ferderike wore a tall tiara and looked regal.

Quite coincidental, I've just found the photo you was refering to of Frederika !!! ;) on the thread on her started by yourself ! It's named Cousin Lily: Princess Frederika of Hannover and located under the Hohenzollern page 12. The pic is just breathtaking !!! :)

That was the book by Frances Dimond and did contain a lot of nice photos from the Royal Archievs. ;)

In a book of mine "Fashion in photographs" I've found this labelled as Maria Alexandrovna ,later Duchess of Edinburgh in 1872 (BY Caldesi & Co., London ) but she doesn't seem to me . What do You think about ?
(http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/3466/scansione0008p.jpg) (http://img839.imageshack.us/i/scansione0008p.jpg/)

Absolutely not Marie Coburg.

that's Marina Duchess of Kent in the mourning dress she wore when her father Nicholas Greece died.
-
Not quite sure I think to ask about it.
-
One more picture of the guests...can anyone identify guests apart from Margraves of Baden and Hohenlohe-Langenburg pair who are sitting in the first row?
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k126/auersperg21/Guests.jpg)
-
For me looks a bit like Auguste of Reuss-Schleiz-Köstritz

The one you posted is Anna of Hesse.

The only sister of Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse ?

Auguste was the first wife of grand duke Friedrich Franz II of Mecklenburg - Schwerin, Anna (the only sister of grand duke Ludwig IV of HD) was the second wife of the grand duke of Mecklenburg!

This was identified as Edgar Boehm and Princess Louise, Marchioness of Lorne c.1885. I don't think it is--what does anyone else think?
(http://assets.londonremembers.com/images/large/47787.jpg?1319389117)
-
The woman looks aged, and I don't see a resemblance to Louise,even in profile.
-
Could it be one of the 8th duke of Argyll s wives.

Can anyone tell me who all of the people are in this photo? I'm quite sure that it's Queen Alexandra with her children, but I don't know her babes enough to tell them all apart (other than Victoria, Louise and Maud).
Thank you in advance!

It is Queen Alexandra and some of her grandchildren. In front of her, left to right, are Henry of Wales, Alexandra of Fife, Albert of Wales, Maud of Fife, Edward and Mary of Wales. Alexandra is holding George of Wales.

I was greatly mistaken then, hehe. Thank you for the help CountessKate!

Nonsense ))).
-
Since its a modern painting (50s ) , i dont think so
-
At first,I thought that Duchess was the painter :P
Thnx both, I thought so. But,it's better to ask, just in case :)
-
Since its a modern painting (50s ) , i dont think so
The artist died in 1929 so it can't be from the 50's although I would agree with you that it does indeed look 50s/early 60s. The painting is titled "Lady in Red"; no idea how they came up with Louise.
-
Then i doubt he painted this. It cant be cause, as we both agree, the fashion style she s wearing wasnt fashionable till the 50s.
What a mystery!
