Under the entrance steps of Claremont is an arch, see below, perhaps it is the one we can see in the background of that group shot.

Alianna the photographer is a Richmond photographer which the Duchess of Albany appears to have used many times. As Richmond is towards Surrey where Claremont is situated that would be my guess for the location of the photograph! But we know photographers where prepared to travel for there Royal clientele

Countesskate this photograph is included in "Developing the Picture". It is indeed Hvidore and taken in 1908. Interestingly the book states "unknown photographer" but from the one you posted it is by Mary someone.

Poor Charlotte! Such a tragic life.
I have just read "Caroline & Charlotte" by Alison Plowden! A brilliant book, I couldn't put it down!
The Princess Charlotte memorial in St Georges Chapel, is just breath taking...

I disagree, she worked the press to her advantage too, but remember that awful television interview she did, that was a big no no.

Personally I think all that stuff about a ring was a load of nonsense cooked up by Fayed Senior himself. There was a picture of a ring floating around, a big ugly gaudy thing which Diana would never have worn. They had only known each other 5 minutes, I think she was just having fun. One of her closest friends said she would never have married him. An English Rose, a member of the aristocracy and Royal Family marrying someone like him? Never!

That's not all your saying, your bleating out a load of nonsense and ruining an interesting discussion. Ashdean knows what he is talking about. Enough said.

I agree Robert! Makes me dislike the man all the more. I won't even start on the comments he made about the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh! He's not fit to kiss the ground they walk on.

Never one to purposely post inaccurate information (unlike a certain individual who shall remain nameless) I Just telephoned Harrods and they informed me the memorial IS still insitu!!!
For those who have not seen the tasteless, revolting "thing" in person here is a pic!!!
Why they didn't sell it for scrap the moment Fayed vacated the building I will never know!!! hehe
Poor Diana, such a lover of beautiful things, would be horrified.

I believe that awful Harrods memorial is actually still insitu, sadly. All Dodi and his father cared about was Diana's status IMO, Dodi soon got shot of that American girl he was supposed to be marrying! That tells you what sort of man he was if you ask me. Ghastly.
I think Diana was just having a bit of fun but I think she should have been a bit more sensible and known better...and ultimately sad how things turned out!

So you see?

Facts?? I don't call posting that Sophie parted with the tiara following Irene's wedding when Sophie had in fact been dead for 7 and half years a fact. Ashdean always posts facts, pity you don't.
