She is one of my favorite brides, so beautiful. Yet, so young. I hear that they were engaged when she was 17? But that the engagment was not allowed (Frederek IX ) because her daddy didnt want her to be engaged so young? Anyone have any other info on this? I believe that they married just after she turned 18.
She was so young, and yet looked so beautiful and radient. Thank You Julia for posting these!
