EDITORS COMMENTS
This formal studio portrait captures HSH Princess Henry of Pless, née Mary Theresa Olivia Cornwallis-West, in a serious and regal pose. Dressed in a elegant gown adorned with a corsage, and wearing a stunning tiara, the Princess exudes an air of sophistication and grace. Born in 1873 as the elder daughter of Colonel William Cornwallis West, the Princess was raised in a noble European household. Her younger sister, the Duchess of Westminster, also graced the aristocratic circles of the time. Sadly, news of the Duchess's serious illness was first announced last Tuesday, casting a shadow over the royal family and their circle of acquaintances. Despite this, the Princess maintains her composure, her steely gaze fixed on the camera lens. The portrait, taken in 1910, showcases the Princess's timeless beauty and the elegance of the European aristocracy during the early 20th century. With her striking features and regal bearing, the Princess Henry of Pless stands out as a symbol of royalty and refinement. Born in Poland, the Princess's lineage can be traced back to the ancient Dukes of Silesia. Her title, Princess Henry of Pless, was bestowed upon her in recognition of her marriage to Prince Henry of Pless in 1896. This formal portrait is a testament to her noble heritage and the enduring legacy of European royalty.
