Queen Maud of Norway, Jay's evening dress, machine-woven silk fabric, silk tulle and metal lace, hand-embroidered with metal and plastic sequins, plastic straws, artificial diamonds and pearls, machine- and hand-stitched, early 1920s.

Queen Maud of Norway was renowned for her stylish dress. Daughter of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, she was born a princess and became Queen of Norway in 1905. She had exemplary taste and a strong interest in fashion, and her royal lifestyle required appropriate dress for every occasion. Her wardrobe includes a range of stunning creations dating from her wedding trousseau of 1896 to the latest House of Worth designs purchased just months before her death in 1938.

Nicholas II welcomes one of his cousins.

This picture just grabbed me when I saw it. It seemed to me they just wanted to open their arms and hug each other, which would not have been inappropriate, being that they were cousins (at first, I thought the lady was Toria, but then I looked better and saw the gentleman following Nick, who looks like Hakoon and changed my mind...this must be Maud welcoming Nicholas.) If I am wrong, just correct me.

I included pictures of Nicky with his cousins. They all spent their childhoods getting together and when the family circle started disintegrating and closing, they must have missed each other.

Okay. WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT Princess Maud of Wales(Queen Maud of Norway) & Prince Carl of Denmark(King Haakon VII of Norway)'s RELATIONSHIP. Like yeah I get it, Tsar Nicholas II & Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna & some other royals had a really cute & tight relationship and all that, but Maud & Haakon were so so touchy, lovey-dovey, so in love with eachother, and I feel like they were probably always in desperate need of eachother😭. Like I literally could never ever image being Haakon and having to live 19 years without my wife, I DEADASS FEEL SO BAD FOR HIM😭💔.

They were true soulmates.❤
