Can someone explain me who these people are? [DNF] Fotoarchief Denieuwsfoto
My nominee is Maria of Russia.BTW we already have the worst dressed guests...
My nominee is Maria of Russia.
... she certainly didn't inherit the elegance and sense for fashion which we have seen in her Romanov ancestery. But at least she's always easy to regognize ...as always:-D I already haven't seen any normal dress on her. Always awful...
It's the double style because they used to be both Kings of Prussia and Emperors of Germany.Quick question: what is the explanation of the double-barreled Imperial and Royal Highness title? Is that because anyone holding that title is a member of both an empire's ruling family/descendants and a royal family? I couldn't really find anything in the "title" thread. Thank you.
Were the three children in nautical dress the attendants? There was only one photo of them
And I agree the dress was boring.
Does anyone know who the lady next to Laurent is?

No, she's not prince Laurent's wife.Possibly his wife
I just remember a couple of things which the desinger said in the interview this morning. He explained that they chose 3 different silk textiles for the dress. The cloth had to be specially dyed in Italy, so that the colour exactly fitted the colour of the old veil. The train part of the brides silk organza coat. And the antique lace veil had to be stitched onto the train so that the frail material does not rub along the floor. He also said that the style of the train was inspired by old paintings and that a fountain at Sancouci park inspired him to give the dress a flowyness that reminds of water. (I write this from memory and hope that I got everything right.)

Yes. The attendants included Archduke Bartholomäus and Archduke Emmanuel (sons of Sophie's sister Katharina amd her husband Archuke Martin of Austria-Este), Luise zu Wied (daugther of her sister Isabelle and her husband Prince Friedrich zu Wied) and they had, at least, three more. Can't remember their names, they were noble as well and children of friends of Georg Friedrich and Sophie, I think.
Did he also say that the jacket was to remind prussian army?
I missed the Thurn and Taxis family. Albert had certainly a race somewhere to drive, but Gloria attended the wedding of Princess Katharina.
Well, although I cannot say who will actually attend the wedding, but you can take for granted that you should never believe what is said in the media and that Prince Friedrich Wilhelm and Prince Christian ARE invited.
Without going too far into detail, which I will definitly not do, it is for sure that there is no correlation between the former inheritance problems and the invitation list.

It was surprising to see Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirvona attending the wedding.
I dare to assume it is because "GF's mother was a Romanov".GF's grandmother was a Romanov as well so maybe that is the connection as Grand Duchess Maria claims the headship of the house. Or it was due to being George's father being a Prince of Prussia (great grandson of Wilhelm II).
