“I could not choose for a sister-in-law anyone I like better than Louise. She will make Arthur a most delightful wife. Each is the complement of the other, and I foresee that each will make the other supremely happy.”

—the German Crown Princess, (nee Victoria, Princess Royal) on the fiancée of her younger brother Prince Arthur: Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia.

Romanov relatives: Alexandra of Edinburgh with her son Gottfried of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.

Alexandra was the third daughter of Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna and Prince Alfred. Known as 'Sandra,' she was somewhat less-famous than her elders sisters Marie of Romania and Victoria Melita. Gottfried was her eldest child and only surviving son. He married Princess Margarita of Greece and Denmark, eldest sister of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Alexander III and his niece Victoria of Wales

I like these two historical figures although I admit that for what we know about their personalitie, neither one would be precisely soft and cuddly.

Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden by Oscar Björck (oil on canvas, 1909)

Elegance is the keyword to describe Oscar Björck's colourful portrait of the young Princess Margareta. The crown princess is painted in her apartment on the lower floor of the northwest wing of the Royal Palace of Stockholm. She stands in the Green Room, in front of a large 18th-century tapestry. Next to her is Sergel's bust of Queen Sofia Magdalena.

The portrait was painted by Oscar Björck, one of Prince Eugen's best and oldest friends. The painting was exhibited at the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914.

The portrait can be seen in the East Guard's Hall of the Bernadotte Apartments at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.

Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry (1824-1884). Unknown artist.

He was considered as the English government's candidate to be the husband of Queen Isabella II of Spain. This candidacy was due to the UK's strong ties with the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The candidate was a first cousin of Queen Victoria's husband Albert, a nephew of King Leopold of Belgium, and a first cousin of King Ferdinand II of Portugal married to Queen Maria II.
