This beautifully made little video is a wonderful slideshow of Victoria, the Princess Royal and her husband, Emperor Frederick William, King of Prussia. You’ve seen most of the images of Princess Victoria on this web site. They’re not credited in the video. And, even though I didn’t make the video, my friendly relationship with the Royal Collection and Historic Royal Palaces compels me to note that they are, in fact, all “Crown Copyright.” As for the images of Frederick III, I don’t know where they came from.


Nevertheless, it’s a great video and rather soothing, too. Enjoy!
