Marie of Prussia, Princess of the Netherlands, Princess of Saxe-Altenburg

Princess Marie of Prussia (Marie Elisabeth Louise Frederika of Prussia; 14 September 1855, Marmorpalais, Potsdam - 20 June 1888, Dresden).
Princess Marie was the eldest daughter of Prussian field-marshal Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia (1828-1885) and his wife, Princess Maria Anna of Anhalt-Dessau (1837-1906).
On 23 August 1878 Princess Marie married Prince Henry of Orange-Nassau at the Neuen Palais (1820-1879). The marriage between Marie and Henry was arranged in an attempt to save the House of Orange-Nassau from extinction. Unfortunately, it was to prove childless: barely five months later, in January 1879, Prince Henry died after contracting measles.
Six years later, on 6 May 1885, Princess Marie married Prince Albert of Saxe-Altenburg in Berlin (1843-1902). This marriage was to all reports a harmonious one and produced two children: Princess Olga Elisabeth (1886-1955) and Princess Marie of Saxe-Altenburg (1888-1947).
The princess died at Schloss Abrechtesberg in 1888 at from the effects of puerperal fever and was buried in the Saxe-Altenburg family vault. Her second husband remarried in 1891 to Duchess Helene of Mecklenburg-Strelitz in Remplin (1857-1936).

Each of the Prussian princesses seen here, Marie and her sisters, has an appearance quite distinctive from the others. It's really interesting to see these images of bygone royalty.
