I don't entirely agree with the suggestion that the portrait related to any coronation. Although the very long train on the dress does need explanation. If it was for a coronation then her status was possibly not that of a British Princess at that time, and therefore the long train on the dress rather than as robes. --Previous Message-- : The Royal Collection site has the comment that : the photo might be from the coronation of : Edward VII. : : If that is correct, it suggests that the : jewels worn by Princess Marie Louise might : have been her then grandest jewels. : : The tiara she is wearing in the photo looks : like a composite jewel, with possibly a : diamond choker being used as a base to form : a more substantial tiara. : : I suspect that, later, the Princess had : existing jewels, including those seen in the : photo(and probably some she inherited), : remodeled, which would have enabled her to : create the honeysuckle and Indian tiaras. : : In the photo above she is seen wearing a : diamond necklace; yet, I do not recollect : seeing her in later life wearing anything : other than pearl necklaces. Either she did : not like the style in later years or perhaps : she had jewels given to her as wedding : presents remodeled. : : The above is all just guess work. : : Does anyone have a list of her wedding : presents? : PS I have noticed in the press at the time : of her marriage, she is referred to as : Princess Louise and occasionally as Princess : Victoria Louise. :
