Duke Alfred of Edinburgh (1844-1900) and his family, Part II

[Eric_Lowe]

Well...It must also be said that being the only daughter among a bunch of boys made her a bit of a tomboy. She was also spoiled by her father and her brothers. When she married Affie, Marie experienced once that she was not number one and resented it. It was not until that the Coburgs moved to Germany that she escaped the obit of Grandmama Queen.

young affie:

He was certainly  charming here and when older looked rather like a used car salesman, with more or less squinty eyes. Yes, I think Prince Philip would agree.  

[Eric_Lowe]

He had a fuller face like Marie Coburg, but also resembled a bit like Missy to be charming.

I asked this question somewhere else, but can we see some more pictures of the Edinburghs as children?

[Eric_Lowe]

Mabe you should buy the book on Queen Victoria's family by Charlotte Zeepvat. It has loads and loads of baby pictures including quite a lot from the Edinburgh family.

[Aliss_Kande]

Okay, Thank you.

  Some gift for Marie's fanatics ... if the pictures are news :

Behind  the horses it seems to be Sinaia Castle built by Carol's will... Pelec I guess...

Any picture of Dear Marie with his dear Elisabeth?? Or with Carol I ??

Interesting. I do like Missy and her brood, but since this thread is about the Edinburghs/Coburgs. I would like to see more of Missy with Ducky, Sandra and baby Bee. Some of little Alfie will be nice too...I wonder if there is an album of photos of the girls in Malta. I am sure there must be quite a few photos of those years.

      ...and I would like to see Marie de Roumanie and Queen Elisabeth and/or Carol 1. 

The name of the castle is Peles (yesterday night I was tired) . He was build in German NeoSomething (NeoMedioeval ? NeoGothic??) on 1883 by Carol's will. 

[Eric_Lowe]

Maybe it would be nice for you to use the Romanian sites since they are THERE for THAT purpose. This is the Edinburgh site, in the Windsor section ! A little foray into Romania is fine but it would be wrong to highjack this into another Marie site ! 

[Eric_Lowe]

Also Carman Sylvia and King Carol I does not belong in this thread ! You are actually off topic...

[pouvoir aux canards]

refering to one message from MrsEddy in the closed topic, the Edinburghs cont. (NOTE: large images) :

...Affie got treated to a picnic in the mountains, while Ellisabeth's crowd put on a theatrical display of 'talent.' Missy noticed Affie's tell tale pouting (a sign that he was about to lose his temper) just before he exclaimed that it was 'outrageous' and that he had no wish to be part of this lunatic assylum! ...

[Eric_Lowe]

Marie was always into fantasy and much of an actress...I think she was quite bored at that point.

I offer this - rather kitsch - picture of a feast organised by Marie :

  Thank you Pouvoir aux Canards! Looks like Missy had more in common with Elisabeth than she perhaps realised (or would admit to)!

[Eric_Lowe]

Well...But Missy had more coomon sense. Carman Slyvia let her imagination fly with her. Thank God Marie Coburg was there to put her daughter back on the ground.
