Comments are welcome about any of these pictures which are posted here.
Left: (from 'The Times Dispatch' [Richmond, VA], dated Oct. 9, 1904) PRINCESS BEATRICE (Princess Henry of Battenberg). Right: (from 'The New York Tribune' [NYC, NY], dated Jan. 28, 1906) Then-PRINCESS VICTORIA EUGENIE OF BATTENBERG (later Queen of Spain)
Both mother and daughter appeared to have the same necklace, so if that is so, Victoria Ena inherited that from her mother. Does the Spanish royal family still have that one today?
Already identified here. (from 'The Saint Paul Globe' [St. Paul, MN], dated Sept. 27, 1903).
QUEEN ALEXANDRINE OF DENMARK (from 'The Sun' [NYC, NY], dated May 16, 1912) Which member of the Danish royal family or someone else entirely has that choker which the queen in photo wore?
Was this PRINCESS DAGMAR (as according to the caption above the picture, the one who wed Lieut. Castenskjold) the daughter of the above? The Danish queen and this lady below looked a lot alike to be mother and daughter. [from 'The Evening World' (NYC, NY), dated Nov. 23, 1922]
(from 'The Washington Herald' [D.C., dated Aug. 17, 1913]) PRINCESS PATRICIA OF CONNAUGHT..
That nice tiara and necklaces probably were passed down into Patricia's family and owned by that family today, I suppose.
This lovely tiara (similar to the one once owned by Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia and now owned by the British Queen except for the pearls or emeralds) was worn by ROMANIA'S QUEEN MARIE (formerly Princess of Edinburgh). This is from 'The Washington Times' (D.C.), dated June 22, 1918. What happened to this tiara?
Once again, it's QUEEN MARIE OF ROMANIA but this time with a different tiara. Also, what had happened to this tiara? It's from 'The North Platte Semi-Weekly Tribune' (North Platte, NE), dated Feb. 12, 1915.
The well-known tiara worn by GRAND DUCHESS VLADIMIR OF RUSSIA (along with a pretty pair of earrings and necklaces and choker and a brooch....who owns these pieces of jewels now?) is from 'The Saint Paul Globe' (St. Paul, MN), dated April 17, 1904. The tiara is of course in the possession of the British royal family now. Also, the Grand Duchess had on at least two or three bracelets but they were out of the picture.
Britain's QUEEN MARY is shown here in 'The National Tribune' (D.C.), dated June 23, 1910. This is a wonderful picture showing her profile.
Left: QUEEN OLGA OF THE HELLENES (from 'El Paso Herald' [El Paso, TX], dated March 18, 1913). Right: QUEEN SOPHIA OF THE HELLENES (from 'The Day Book' [Chicago, IL], dated March 19, 1913).
Both Greek queens seemed to have the same choker. What do you think? Sophia's tiara could be consisted of aquamarines, could it? Olga seemed to have some type of small tiara in her hair. Does anyone own these pieces of jewelry today? Interesting that this photo (from the Library of Congress collection also) identifed her as Queen Olga rather than Queen Sophia, but the newspaper picture on the right side immediately above identifed her as Sophia. Which one is correct?
The tiara worn by DOWAGER QUEEN OLGA OF THE HELLENES obviously belongs to Queen Anne Marie now. Is this choker in any way the same as the one worn by those ladies immediately above or is it a different choker?
Interesting portrait of DENMARK'S QUEEN SOPHIA MAGDALENA is from 'The Salt Lake Tribune' (SLC, UT), dated July 2, 1911.
THE GRAND DUCHESS ERNEST OF HESSE & DARMSTADT wore those various jewels in the picture from "The Washington Herald" (D.C.), dated Nov. 4, 1906. Does anyone own this big tiara?
AND LASTLY, this picture of THE DUCHESS OF GUISE is from 'The Washington Herald' (D.C.), dated Nov. 4, 1906.
