    Date, in mirror writing, top centre, 8/22/13. Isn't the family resemblance strong.

    It's rumored that Michael Jackson bought those outfits at an auction in London

    Add the Kaiser and you have triplets.
  • R Viscara said:
    Dan: Michael may have but only in vain trying to give himself some sense of nobility which he failed at miserably.
  • Gillian said:
    They were first cousins through their mothers, who were daughters of Princess Louise of Hesse-Kassel. Her daughter Alexandra married Edward VII of England, and her daughter Dagmar married Tsar Alexander III of Russia .

    By October 1914, Germany and Russia were at war. And judging from coverage in NYT, relations had been poor in the Spring of 1914. My suspicion is that this picture was taken earlier, perhaps in May 1913, when Europe's royalty assembled in Berlin for the marriage of the Kaiser's daughter Viktoria Luise. NYT of May 23, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=990CEFDE143FE633A... which mentions that the Kaiser took the Czar for a drive in a motor car -- so that wasn't the occasion for this picture.
  • Art Siegel said:
    Interesting article. The czar and and the king of England both dressed in Prussian military uniforms for the banquet. Quite a shock in light of later events. However, one source says this was a custom of royalty of the era, dressing in each other's uniforms.
  • Art Siegel said:
    Some sources I found say the May, 1913 meeting was their last: "On May 24, 1913, Wilhelm's daughter, Viktoria Louise, was married to Prince Ernest August of Hanover, and the Kaiser invited his cousins, King George V of England and Tsar Nicholas II; this would be the last time the Royal cousins saw each other.
