Thanks, Four Terms, for catching the name of the artist. We'll add that information to the record next time we update it.

pedigree: www.welfen.de/stammtafel.html Nowadays a descendant of her brother is married with princess Caroline of Monaco, the oldest daughter of the former actress Grace Kelly and the Prince Rainier of Monaca: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainier_III,_Prince_of_Monaco

Princess Olga of Hanover and Cumberland (German: Olga Adelaide Louise Marie Alexandrina Agnes Prinzessin von Hannover und Cumberland), Princess of Great Britain and Ireland, Duchess of Brunswick-Lüneburg (born 11 July 1884 in Gmunden, Austria-Hungary; died 21 September 1958 at Hubertihaus in Gmunden).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Augustus_III,_Duke_of_Brunswick I think this is him. Seems there is a long line of Ernest Augusts. Including a grandson still around today. Ernest Augustus (Ernest Augustus Christian George; German: Ernst August Christian Georg; 17 November 1887 – 30 January 1953), reigning Duke of Brunswick (2 November 1913 – 8 November 1918), was a grandson of George V, whom the Prussians deposed in 1866. The last reigning monarch of the House of Hanover, Ernest Augustus was a direct descendant of Henry the Lion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Viktoria_Luise_of_Prussia Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, Duchess of Brunswick (Victoria Louise Adelaide Matilda Charlotte; German: Viktoria Luise Adelheid Mathilde Charlotte; 13 September 1892 – 11 December 1980) was the only daughter and the seventh child of William II, German Emperor and Empress Augusta Victoria – at the time of her death, she was their last surviving child. Princess Victoria Louise is the maternal grandmother of Queen Sophie of Spain and the former King Constantine II of the Hellenes.

Ernst August and Victoria Louise were married. Prince Oskar is her brother.

Caption on photo reads: "Prince Ernst August, Duke of Brunswick, and his bride Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, and Prince Oskar" Princess Victoria Louise and Prince Ernst August were married in Berlin in May 1913; King George V and Tsar Nicholas both attended the wedding, one of the last big "family" affairs of European royalty before WWI.

Forget the historical relevance -- look at her fabulous outfit! And is that a purse she's carrying?

"Bride" was the daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm. They were married in May 1913: www.thepeerage.com/p10120.htm

rjones0856: Thanks for the information and date. The original photograph that was copied by the Nain News Service was copyrighted in 1913 by Sandau of Berlin. We can add that information to the description when we update it.

LOC -- in the original "auf Deutsch" caption to this photo, the prince's name is spelled "August," not "Auguste." Brett -- you have inadvertently spelled "Bain" as "Nain".

Wystan, Thanks for your comment. We will be updating the record to reflect that this couple should be identified as Ernst August and Viktoria Luise.
