Here's one of QA wearing the necklace at the wedding of her granddaughter Alexandra Fife in 1913:

Are you sure that was taken in 1913? She looks really young. In 1913 Alexandra would've been sixty-eight. I suppose some of it could be editing, but they can't make sixty-eight-year-old women look that young with all the technology they have today, so I don't see how they could've done it back then.

It's certainly been touched up jeniann, you can see the one with Olaf has been too!

She did keep her looks though, one of the Russian grand dukes ?KR saw her, I think at a wedding, and wrote she looked 30 when in fact she was in her 50s!!

As good can be expected.

As good can be expected.

What do you mean?

[Eric_Lowe]

Her age I mean. Alexandra was an old woman but even without the retouches has flashes of the girl within her. That made her beautiful still.

Jeniann--Yes, the photo was taken in 1913 at the time of her granddaughter's wedding.

This is a lovely photo - but has it been touched up a bit?  Her left thigh has a suspicious white 'shadow' alongside it.  The gatepost is rather crude looking and appears to have been superimposed to her right side, making her umbrella look awkward.

It's from a visit to England by her parents and sister Thyra. They are seen in the entire group photos.
