“I could not choose for a sister-in-law anyone I like better than Louise. She will make Arthur a most delightful wife. Each is the complement of the other, and I foresee that each will make the other supremely happy.”

—the German Crown Princess, (nee Victoria, Princess Royal) on the fiancée of her younger brother Prince Arthur: Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia.

Share with us, your favorite Potraits of Royals✨💋🥺🤍

my favorite royal portraits are infinite... However, I would love to share each and every one of them with you...🥺🫶💓

I'm obsessed with these 3 portraits of Queen Victoria's family, all painted by court painter Franz Xaver Winterhalter...🥰

1. Princess Alice of United Kingdom is wearing a white ball dress and a black shawl. Originally she held a wreath of flowers in her hand, but this was changed as the painting progressed. Franz Xaver Winterhalter began the painting on 4 June 1861 and on 13 June Queen Victoria wrote in her Journal that he had 'finished Alice's beautiful picture, which is so like & fine'.

Alice was the third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Known for her sweet nature, she often took on the role of peacekeeper in the royal household. Princess Helena, her sister, described her as 'loving Daughter and Sister, the devoted Wife and Mother, and a perfect, true Woman'.

2. Princess Louise of United kingdom was the sixth of Queen Victoria's nine children. Beautiful and artistic, as an adult she supported the women's movement and helped launch the Girls Public Day School Company.

3. Queen Victoria with her Four Eldest Children, Victoria Princess Royal, Prince Edward, Princess Alice, Prince Alfred.

The Queen asked Winterhalter to copy and arrange to her own design ‘my portrait with the 4 children’ from the central group in his painting of The Reception of Louis-Philippe, King of the French, at Windsor Castle, 8 October 1844.

She was pleased with the painting and noted in her Journal that it ‘looks quite lovely’.

“Kaiser Wilhelm II's "incestuous" letter to his mother Victoria was not incestuous. It was a son yearning for his mother's attention and was confused as to why he didn't have it like his other siblings had. Like c'mon, she literally wrote to Queen Victoria how Wilhelm's disability destroyed any pride she had in her son. And the focus on hands in that letter, he was envious as to how others (like his mother) had completely normal arms and hands whereas he had a crippled one that was rendered useless by default.” - Submitted by Anonymous

The German Crown Princess and Princess; Frederick and Victoria, The Princess Royal (daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert).

Against their contemporaries of the German Empire, the couple shared liberal views and believed in a constitutional monarchy for Germany. Against the antisemitism of the time, the couple strongly supported the Jewish population of the German Empire regularly visiting synagogues when violence annd and antisemitism against Jewish people was increasing. Especially in the 1880s when a quarter of a million Germans signed a petition demanding Jewish people be banned from public office. Victoria wrote of her disgust of these leaders and her new nation who “behave so hatefully towards people of a different faith and another race who have become an integral part (and by no means the worst) of our nation!" This along with their other liberal beliefs heavily ostracised them from the conservative German court including Frederick’s parents. In contrast her mother, Queen Victoria, was proud of her daughter and son-in-law's efforts to stop the völkisch campaign and wrote to Frederick to say she was happy that her daughter had married a man like him, who was prepared to stand up for the rights of the Jews. Unfortunately for Frederick he would only become Emperor for 99 days due illness. Their son against their knowledge had been educated by a tutor with conservative views which meant their idea of constitutional monarchy would not come to fruition. The majority of their papers were saved having been sent to Windsor Castle before their son could destroy them. As Dowager she was heavily critical of her son who had purged all institutions of people chosen by Victoria and her late husband. When her son, Wilhelm II now the emperor (and last) wrote in the guestbook of the city of Munich the words "Suprema lex regis voluntas" (The will of the king is the supreme law"), she indignantly wrote to her mother; “The Tsar, an infallible Pope, a Bourbon or our poor Charles I might have pronounced that phrase, but a monarch of the 19th century ... My God, I think (...) Fritz's son and the grandson of my dear father took such a direction and also misunderstood the principles with which it is still possible to govern.”

Kaiser Wilhelm II appearance as a baby;

“They say all babies are alike,” wrote one German observer. “I do not think so: this one has a beautiful complexion, pink and white, and the most lovely little hand ever seen! The nose rather large; the eyes were shut, which was as well, as the light was so strong. His happy father was holding him in his arms.”

“He is growing so handsome and his large eyes have now and then a dreamy expression and then again they sparkle with fun and delight.” - Victoria, Princess Royal writing to her mother, Queen Victoria.
