The Royal Marriage at Karlsruhe: Princess Victoria of Baden, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by T. Schuhmann and Son. 'Princess Sophia Victoria of Baden, the bride of the Crown Prince of Sweden and Norway, is...distantly related to our...Queen. The Princess was born in 1862, so that she is now nineteen years of age. She has received an excellent education, under her mother's immediate supervision, which will fully fit her for the exalted position she is destined in course of time to occupy. She will be the first Queen of Scandinavia bearing the name of Victoria. We are told that she has, since her betrothal, some six months ago, received daily lessons in the Swedish language from a master dispatched by the Swedish Government for this purpose. Her progress is said to have been so rapid that she was able at the last visit of her betrothed to the Court of the Grand Duke to converse with him in his own tongue'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
