There’s no way that picture isn’t haunted.
1922, the year two kingdoms shook hands over a princess. And she still managed to outshine the politics.”
Why so much sadness??
Her eyes are so sad
Her striking, haunting gaze completely steals the spotlight an absolute masterpiece of a historic portrait
It must be demeaning to know you will become royalty without lifting a finger. Royalty is DEI to the max!
Beautiful
The joy on her face is unmistakable. It stinks of arranged marriage.
I watched an interesting programme about how Carol wanted them to live at the much larger Peles castle after his death but she had made a home at Pelisor for Ferdinand herself and the children and wouldnt move.
Edit: I have errored here. She is one of those children. Not the mother Maria! Apologies!
She looks sad
I think she is beautiful
she was the inspiration for Chiana in Farscape
Whatever else, this is an amazing photograph.
Why does she look so sad?
This is more likely to be 1893 (when she was married, aged 18). She became Queen in 1922 but she was already 47 at that time.
Album cover. 👍
I guess she was right another victim of royal marriages.
