Two others pictures of the wedding of Christophe and Françoise :

Nice photos. The upper with Sophie in her "habit"...

[grandduchessella]

The grey mourning she always wore.

[Eric_Lowe]

I think she designed it, as her sister-in-law's mourning dress was white (like Queen Olga's).

[grandduchessella]

Which sister-in-law?

[Eric_Lowe]

Elena, Princess Nicholas of Greece.

[grandduchessella]

Ah, I see. Thank you. I wasn't sure which one as none of her Greek sisters-in-law were widowed in Sophie's lifetime save Princess Marie (Grand Duchess George). I thought perhaps it was she you referenced.

[Eric_Lowe]

Princess George & Princess Andrew weren't widowed at that point.

[grandduchessella]

Yes, that's what I said. Only Marie was widowed in Sophie's lifetime. That's why I thought perhaps you were referring to her when comparing the widow's weeds. So Princess Nicholas wore white ala Queen Olga?

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. as she appeared at the Florence wedding of Irene Aosta and baptism of Princess Sofie (Queen Sofia of Spain) of Greece.

Marrying Isabelle F

Lovely photos ! I wonder who the couple sitting on the corner during the wedding. They look like Coburgs or Orleans...

[grandduchessella]

The bride's parents?

[Svetabel]

The bride's parents?

Exactly ; )

[Eric_Lowe]

Thanks. The photo is quite rare...especially from that angle. Were her brother & sister at the wedding too ? I never saw a group photo of this event.
