Maria was always very lovely and natural with children, and all she wanted in life was to get married to a nice Russian man (preferably a soldier) and have lots of children. It has been reported that she, without hesitation, would snatch a baby from it’s mother’s arms and shower him or her in kisses. 

14 May 2004: The wedding of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Miss Mary Elizabeth Donaldson in Copenhagen Cathedral, Copenhagen, Denmark.

The wedding of Prince George, the Duke of York (later King George V), and Princess Mary of Teck (6 July 1893)

“The scene was full of life and movement, and the ceremony eclipsed in pomp and splendor any recent state ceremonial in connection with the British Court.”

I need some more tiaras/just royal jewellery in general for Royal Jewellery of the Week.

You really ought to learn how to spell before writing a message like this, darling. Also, was I supposed to care? Because I really don’t.
