Thank you for your photo of Clémentine, GDella !
From a book I know Clémentine was at the wedding of Umberto and Marie-Jose in 1930, do you own any photos ?

I have a wedding issue on my 'to buy' list but haven't purchased it yet. When I do, I'll let you know of any Clementine photos.

Very nice photo of an older Louise, Rani. She definitely shows the effects of the life she lived, I think.

The book where I got the info from is Royal jewels of Belgium by Christophe Vachaudez. According to the book, there was a lot of stress when the female guests at the Italian-Belgian wedding  had to bring with them more than ten dresses for the celebrations !  Clementine had to borrow some clothes and jewels from her sister Stephanie.
I think there were a lot of other royals at that celebration, in any case the Belgian and Italian royal families.

It was asked on another thread whether Clementine was happy with Victor Napoleon. Here's some excerpts of letters she wrote:

To her sister, Stephanie, after her engagement, Clementine wrote: "You cannot imagine the depth of my happiness in answering to the love, the fidelity, and the happiness of the man who has remained at my side for many long years. God has looked upon my difficult situation and, in His power, has resolved everything."

After her wedding, she wrote to Stephanie: "Napoleon, for Clementine, is a love, I adore him. During the day, I spend most of my time finding ways to please him, and the nights!... they are exquisite. I never thought this could be so good."

I really like this Princess who, although experiencing financial troubles, was very grateful and generous to those who helped her.
