That's Ernest of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's widow, Alexandrine of Baden.

Elsa von Wurttemberg.
She was sort of engaged to Affie.

No, that's not Elsa. I don't know who's that girl but she doesn't look like Elsa.

I posted the first pic here long ago. It comes from  Jesus Ibarra's  great site on Queen Victoria's Family.
The other two come from Victoria Melita's private album...the link was posted somewhere on the Hesse Board ( on the ''Elizabeth-daughter of Ernie'' thread i think) :-)

I don't know who's that lady either...she could be a friend of Beatrice.

And as always you can't exactly NAME who's that all-knowing someone. Light remark if you can't confirm your words.

The girl in question doesn't look like Elsa at all. Have you seen Elsa's photos?

Yes I have. In fact it was I compared the picture with both girls (Elsa and her sister). It match one of them quite well.

I still disagree. It match only in that case if one of them was a victim of plastic surgery 8)

Well,  it's time for a seriuos talk not about "match quite well" . I guess you compared faces/features and tried to find a similarity. If desired one can find a similarity even between very different faces (for example Julia Roberts is actually Jennifer Lopes, eh?).
 Did you look at the hair-styles, at the girls dresses? I mean  Beatrice she is definitely a teenager of 14-16 years old in the picture, she was born in 1884, her hair-style and dress is around the 1897-1899 years. Elsa and her twin Olga were born in 1876, and in 1896 they looked as here's :



In 1897-1898 as here's



In 1897-1898 both Elsa and Olga married, they looked like young women but not like the teenagers - Beatrice and her friend.

So I don't believe that's Elsa with Beatrice there.

Look at the face of the girl close to Grand Duchess Alexandra Josefina and compared that to the photo of Baby Bee's female companion alongside young Affie. You should see the resemblance  ;)
