Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovich and the Hessians
The main reason I like this picture is that Ella is smiling in a very different, spontaneous way. Her eyes are involved in the smile. She has not turned into the “ethereal” beauty yet. I don't have a date for the picture. It might be around her engagement to Serge.
In the picture, from left to right: A very young Ernst Ludwig with a pup under each arm, Ella with a little girl in her arms whom I don't know; sitting on the steps in front of Ella, Princess Victoria, standing by Ella, Princess Alix, sitting right in front of Alix, the Grand Duke Ludwig IV, and sitting next to him, Grand Duke Serge.
There are two young women in the photo, one sitting next to Victoria and the other standing behind Sergei, whom I do not know.

TRAGEDIES OF PRINCE FRIEDRICH'S DEATH 😭💔
Tumblr media
In late May 1873, 5-year-old Ernest and 2-year-old Friedrich, The only sons of Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse, and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, were playing together in their mother's bedroom.
Ernst ran to another room, which was set at right angles to Alice's bedroom and peered through the window at his younger brother.Alice ran to get Ernst away from the window. When she was out of the room, Friedrich climbed onto a chair next to an open window in his mother's bedroom to get a closer look at his brother.
The chair tipped over and Friedrich tumbled through the window, falling 20 feet (6.1 m) to the balustrade below. He survived the fall and may have lived had he not had haemophilia. He died hours later of a brain hemorrhage💔
The tragic death of little Friedrich devastated his entire family... especially his mother and his beloved brother Ernest...
Following Friedrich's death, his distraught mother princess alice often prayed at his grave and marked anniversaries of small events in his life.
Prince Ernest was deeply affected by the death of his younger brother Prince Friedrich of Hesse, he was inconsolable and said to his mother "When I die, you must die too, and all the others. Why can't we all die together? I don't want to die alone, like Frittie." He also blamed himself for his brother's death and felt guilty for the rest of his life. He later wrote in his memoirs, "I have never been able to rid myself of the impression that I was to blame for my brother's death."
Three years after Friedrich's death, on January 22, 1876, Princess Alice noted in a letter to her mother, Queen Victoria: Yesterday morning Ernie came in to me and said, "mama, i had a beautiful dream; shall i tell you? I dreamed that i was dead and was gone up to heaven and there i asked god to let me have Frittie again, and he came to me and took my hand."😭
Of course, this wasn't the last tragedy of Prince Ernest's life, In the near future, he witnessed the heartbreaking death of his mother and little sister due to diphtheria, the death of his beloved daughter Elisabeth due to typhoid fever, and finally the brutal death of his two beloved sisters, Elizabeth and Alix by Russian revolutionaries... 😭😭😭

“Ella and Papa” (edit) ❤️‍🩹✨🕊️
“In Spring, Elisabeth had to leave her father for the first time to go to Coburg with her mother. According to Ernst Ludwig’s memories, she hid from everyone and, finally, was found "whimpering under a sofa, full of despair." Ernst assured Elisabeth that her mother loved her too. "Mama says she loves me, but you do love me.’ she replied.” 💔

Front, from left to right: The future King and Queen of England, George and Mary (well matched and solid!)
Last but not least, Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburg and Ernst Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse and By Rhine (this couple would not last)
