1868 (estimated) Queen Maria Henrietta
gogm1 > albums > Grand Ladies of the Early Victorian...
Album Info:
The date estimate is based on the half-cone shape of her dress with a bustle-like flaring in back combined with the neckline, bertha, and engageantes still in use after decades of use.*** Marengo posted a large number of images of Maria-Hendrika in The Royal Forums on 31 August and 1 September 2007 where she noted, "In 1853 Marie-Henriette has to marry Crownprince Leopold of the Belgians. It is a purely political match as the Belgians saw this marriage as a way to ensure that they won't be invaded by Napoleon III. The marriage would become extremely unhappy, especially because Leopold II was a cruel man. The Queen however doesn't say much about it but when the King spends more and more time the Queen retreats to Spa, where she dies in 1902."*** The entire thread is at: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/f15 9/queen-marie-henriette-belgians-1836-19 02-a-13704.html .
