Prince Waldemar & Princess Marie (nee Orleans)

[Carolath Habsburg]

Marie showing proud her Tattoed arm. She got this anchor tattoo during her travel to the Far East. She said  she had "interesting experiences including visiting a Chinese opium den". I love her!

Marie was not the average princess of that time.

I have GOT to get that photo. LOL I'm working on something (aren't I always  ) regarding tattooed royalty and it's so hard to find images of them--especially the female ones! I've seen other poses from that sitting--I wonder if it was usually airbrushed out.

[Eric_Lowe]

Most likely I guess.

I can identify most of the Royals in this photo, but I can't pin-point a date or ocassion.  I make a guess at it being the engagement of Marie to Waldemar.  Is that Marie's mother in front next to Queen Louise?  Any help would be appreciated.

Could be. Not sure.
