    See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3775425108/ for a photo that includes Maud. NYT of July 27, 1913 suggests that Maud was unhappy in Norway. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E0CEFD8153FE633A... "NORWAY'S UNHAPPY QUEEN URGING THE KING TO ABDICATE; Strangers in a Hostile Land, Haakon and His English Consort Find Their Situation Intolerable -- Queen Maud Fears for the Life of Her Little Son, Crown Prince Olaf -- What the Norwegians Have Done to Embitter the Royal Pair."

    Bottom right corner, I think this one is dated 9-1-1918, could be 1913.

    mona loldwoman: looks like 7/17/1913 to me, but thanks for spotting the date anyway!
  • YawningDog said:
    Her waist is barely as wide as her hairdo. Scary.
  • Betty Berg said:
    You are welcome. You'll have no challenge from me on this one Pete. (grinning) I am still amazed and honored that I can participate.

    Norway, which had newly gained its independence from Sweden, crowned this jolly couple king and queen in 1906. (The royal family came to Norway from Denmark, but before her marriage to Haakon in 1896, Maud had been Princess of Wales.) Norway was in the news in 1913 for granting full suffrage to women.
