@oldtimeroyals: This photo was taken during the wedding of Ernest Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine, and Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh. Both were first cousin, and the marriage was arranged by Queen Victoria. Above was when the guests/relatives/siblings of the bride and groom took picture at the steps of the main entrance of the castle. During the wedding festivities, Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich proposed to Princess Alix of Hesse (this story i have told in my book “Nicholas, Alix, dan Rusia” link on my bio!), with the help of Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany and Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. #royalty #royalfamily #queenvictoria #royalgathering #german
