1. Title: Princess Sophie of Greece on her Wedding Day: A Royal Bride at Sixteen 2. Description: This image captures the youthful elegance and radiant beauty of Princess Sophie of Greece on her wedding day as she exchanged vows with Prince Christoph of Hesse-Cassel on December 15, 1930. The youngest daughter of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg, Sophie was the first of her siblings to marry at the tender age of sixteen. Dressed in an exquisite bridal gown adorned with intricate beadwork and lace, Princess Sophie carried a cascading bouquet of white roses, lilies of the valley, and jasmine. Her long, flowing veil, held in place by a delicate tiara, added an air of regal sophistication to her bridal ensemble. The wedding ceremony took place at the Royal Palace of Mon Repos in Corfu, Greece, in the presence of her royal family and distinguished guests. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds embarked on a journey to their new home in Kassel, Germany, where they would begin their life together as Prince and Princess of Hesse-Cassel. This historical portrait offers a glimpse into the opulent world of European royalty during the early 20th century, showcasing the timeless beauty and tradition of a royal wedding. 3.
