u/Kaiser_Fritz_III

Prince Georg Friedrich and Princess Sophie of Prussia were in Stockholm on May 8th and 9th as guests of honour and the latest foreign honorary members of the Grand Amaranth Order, receiving the sixth, highest degree; Princess Sophie was also Grand Mistress of this year’s festivities.

The Prince also took the opportunity to meet in the Swedish Riksdag with Speaker Andreas Norlén as well as to visit the Apartments of the Orders of Chivalry in the Royal Palace and the Riddarholmen Church.

88 years ago today, Prince Louis Ferdinand married Grand Princess Kira Kirillovna of Russia in a Protestant ceremony at Huis Doorn in the company of the exiled Emperor. A Russian-Orthodox ceremony had taken place two days prior. The two remained married until Princess Kira’s death in 1967 and had seven children.

The wedding couple are seated front and center, with Wilhelm II standing behind them. Also noticeable are Romanov claimant Grand Prince Vladimir Kirillovich seated on his sister’s right, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands standing behind him, and Prince Adalbert of Prussia standing in the right corner of the photograph between two women I don’t recognise. Feel free to let me know if you recognise any other faces present (and if I’ve missed anyone particularly important!).
