Rulers Prior to Nicholas II / Alexander II's first daughter & Alexander III's 2nd son

« on: August 15, 2004, 10:41:12 AM »

I have a question. In the topic: "does anyone here..." some posted a pic of  Alexander III and Marie's 2nd son Alexander Alexandrovich. This pic is obviously a funeral pic. Does anyone have pics of him when he was alive? There were so many pics taken of Nicholas as a baby. I think it's weird that they never took any pics of their 2nd son before he died.

Lisa here is a pic of Victoria at her wedding.


And a pic of her with her husband Ludwig of Battenberg


She wasn't as pretty as Alix & Ella, she looked more like her mother Princess Alice

I like Alexandra in this photo. It's like she has an impish grin on her face

Didn't Cartier get a hold of the Nuptial Crown after the Revolution? I seem to remember reading that somewhere

Edward & Alexandra were married March 10, 1862

Alice & Ernest were married July 1, 1862

I think the pic was taken for Edward's wedding

This pic looks like it was taken the same day

This shows an engraving of Alice's Wedding

Both her wedding and her daughter Alix's wedding were shadowed by death
