St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missouri, July 5, 1896

The above shows the gift of some London working girls, pupils in a dressmaking class, at the People’s Palace, to Princess Maud, who is to wed Prince Christian of Denmark. It is a Louis Quatorze coat of rich white satin of English manufacture. The revers, gauntlet cuffs, and deep collar are of silver brocade. The sleeves are made with full puffs to the elbows, and below the cuffs are frills of dainty embroidered chiffon. Waterfall frills of chiffon partially hide the full vest of white satin.

The wedding of Princess Charlotte of Wales and Leopold I of Belgium was quite rowdy! 

…he was assailed by numbers of females patting him on the back, and calling blessings on him, &.; this gave a number of men, in the delay thus occasioned, an opportunity to take the traces from the carriage, and draw him without horses…

Princess Charlotte, with Leopold as her consort, would have been Queen of England upon the death of her father (instead of her cousin, Victoria), if she hadn’t died during childbirth to a stillborn son the year after her wedding.
