The Royal Marriage - Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein and Prince Frederick William of Prussia, 1881. Engravings from photographs by Hermann, Court photographer, of Potsdam; and Mr. A. Bassano, of Old Bond-street, London. '...the princely bride and Royal bridegroom...are both connected by family relationship with the Royal House of Great Britain. Princess Victoria...is the eldest child of Prince Frederick of Augustenburg, titular Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, who claimed to be King of Denmark upon the death of King Frederick VII., in 1863, but whose claim was superseded by that of Prince Christian, son of the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, now reigning as King Christian IX., who had married the daughter of King Christian VIII. of Denmark. Prince Frederick of Augustenburg, who married a daughter of the late Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg...is brother to his Royal Highness Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, the husband of her Royal Highness Princess Helena of Great Britain; so that the bride, upon this interesting occasion, stands in the relation, by marriage and adoption, of grand-niece to her Majesty Queen Victoria; while the bridegroom is her Majesty's grandson'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
