Maud of Wales - Queen of Norway, was the youngest daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom, and the grandaughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

Maud had great taste in gowns, and she was always impeccably attired, for every occasion.

As the wife of King Haakon VII of Norway, Maud must have had a considerable dress allowance.

A remarkable number of her gowns have been preserved.

Here are some of them from the period just prior to WWI, circa 1906-1914.

Okay. WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT Princess Maud of Wales(Queen Maud of Norway) & Prince Carl of Denmark(King Haakon VII of Norway)'s RELATIONSHIP. Like yeah I get it, Tsar Nicholas II & Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna & some other royals had a really cute & tight relationship and all that, but Maud & Haakon were so so touchy, lovey-dovey, so in love with eachother, and I feel like they were probably always in desperate need of eachother😭. Like I literally could never ever image being Haakon and having to live 19 years without my wife, I DEADASS FEEL SO BAD FOR HIM���💔.

They were true soulmates.❤

One thing I observe from biographies is they are boring because they expect the audience to be informed and do not provide good setups, context, or payoffs, if they adhere strictly to real events.

The King's Choice (Norwegian: Kongens nei, meaning "The King's No") is a 2016 biographical war film directed by Erik Poppe. It is a co-production of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Ireland, starring Jesper Christensen.

I 100% think that Sunny was meant for Nicky, but imagine Toria with Nicky!😍

Nicholas II welcomes one of his cousins.

This picture just grabbed me when I saw it. It seemed to me they just wanted to open their arms and hug each other, which would not have been inappropriate, being that they were cousins (at first, I thought the lady was Toria, but then I looked better and saw the gentleman following Nick, who looks like Hakoon and changed my mind...this must be Maud welcoming Nicholas.) If I am wrong, just correct me.

I included pictures of Nicky with his cousins. They all spent their childhoods getting together and when the family circle started disintegrating and closing, they must have missed each other.

“Haakon VII of Norway is one of the greatest kings in history. He only accepted to be king after knowing Norwegian people’s acceptance, understood his role and stayed in his lane and stepped up when needed to be (as the symbol of faith & resistance to Norway during WWII). On top of that, he was a perfect family man. The man was a whole package. Utmost respect for him & all future monarchs should learn from his example.” - Submitted by Anonymous
