“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.

“Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh and Duchess Louise Margaret of Connaught have some similarities; both married princes who were far from inheriting the crown and arrived unpretentiously. However, their efforts and dedication to the British monarchy were exceptional, and they stood out for winning not only the respect of their husbands, but also the affection of their illustrious mothers-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria.” - Text & Image Submitted by cenacevedo15

my distaste for rpf doesn't actually extend to the beatles because half of them are dead and idrc about the other two. like I definitely judge people for it and think its cringe to be obsessed w them but I generally dont object to rpf abt older historical or most political figures but that's a really case by case basis

Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia, Duchess of Connaught and Strathearn, 1879.

This painting is a copy painted by Robert A. Müller for Queen Victoria of an original portrait by Von Angeli, dated 1879, at Bagshot Park. When the Duke of Connaught saw the original portrait in November 1878 he wrote to the Queen to describe it: ‘It is really lovely, so like & yet so pretty & natural – She is taken three quarters face in a low gown of a creamy colour, her hair quite plain, my locket round her neck on a thin gold chain, & that ruby & diamond star left her by her Grandmama in her dress… I tell you the particulars as I think they may interest you.’ (x)

During his Majesty's brief sojourn at Friedrichshof he and the German Emperor were the guests of Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse-Cassel, the youngest daughter of the late Empress Frederick. Her Royal Highness, who is the Kaiser's favourite sister, is a gentle, sweet-looking woman, who lives up to the Hohenzollern ideal by being the mother of six sturdy sons, who include two sets of twins. Princess Margaret of Prussia, as she was, of course, always called as a girl, played in her mother's life much the same part as Princess Beatrice played in that of our late Sovereign. It was said that on several occasions, she refused brilliant offers of marriage rather than leave her widowed mother, and her betrothal to the Prince whose wife she now is was the outcome of quite a romance. Prince Frederick Charles is a clever studious officer; he is trebly connected with our Royal Family, for in addition to being King Edward's nephew by marriage, he first-cousin to Queen Alexandra and to the Duchess of Connaught. The Empress Frederick left her youngest daughter the beautiful palace created by herself, and accordingly Prince and Princess Frederick Charles spend the greater portion of each year at Friedrichshof, though they also own a delightful suite of rooms in the famous Schloss Rupenheim.
