THE ROYAL FAMILY At THE WEDDING.
The Queen Looks Cross and the Prince OF
Wales III ut Ease,
L0BdOn Trtsh.

London TrH.h.
Prince Henry of Bsttenberg has been de-
scribed as one Of the hsndsomest men IN
EuroOe; but, so far as looks are concerned,
he is distinctly behind his younger brother,
Prince Louis. He is however, very stall
wart and soldierhke, though he looks as If
he had q temper He is all over q Prus-
sian officer, but happily does not require TO
wear the pince-nez with which thre9 Ger
man officers out of FIVE are dishgured. The
Prince had done his best for himself By
wearing q very becoming white uniform,
With high Jack boots.
Princess Beatrice kept her head well up,
unlike oil other royal brides | have seen,
for they have all buried their faces in their
bouquets. She looked very flushed and
rather nervous. Her veil Of Honiton lace
was worn to fall over the back Of her head.
The Princess wore some splendid jewels
and the insignia Of five orders, while she
carried an immense bouquet Of white
flowers.
The Pence Of Wales lin a Field Mar
shars uniformly seemed Ill at ease and out
of sorts; and so also did the Queen, who
looked exceedingly cross, aud who was
dressed, as she always is at state functions,
in black satin with q white tulle cap and
veil. Her Majesty had magnificent dis'
monds, including the Koh-tnoor, and a
small tiara on her head. She wore the star
and ribbon of the Garter, and the insignia
Of five other orders, including the Golden
Lion of Hesse, which was also worn by the
bride.
The Duke of Edinburgh, who wore q
naval uniform, looked even more sour and
supercilious than usual; and the sullen ex'
preston which has become hsbitusl to the
Duchess appeared to be s~ecentuated for the
occasion, slthough she ought to have beer
delighted to see the son of her mother
favorite brother achieving such a mar
risge.
Prince Christian appeared far older than
either the Queen or the Duke Of Cambridge
| and the Princess, who is a somewhat small
er edition Of the Duchess Of Teck, entirely
lacks her cousins right royal air and pres
ence, which makes her one Of the most
stately figures that could be conceived.
Princess Louise looked well, but she has
q very Eighty manner. Lord Lorne has
something Of his sire's bantsm-ike air. he
was in tartans, nut certainly looked very
common.
The Duke an 'uchess of Connaught ap
peared as kindly d pleasant IS usual, bat
they have not De 6ted in appearance BY
their stay in India, and the Duke is by far
the oldest looking of the Queens sons
With them walked their little girl, q charm
ing child, who was nicely dressed.
Prince Albert Victor wore the uniform o
tie Tenth H~ussars, but he is so meek and
timid-looking q young man that when il
military gsrb he always reminds on OF
lamb in The skin of q wolf. Prince George
of Wales in naval uniform seemed thor
oughly well pleased with himself. He 10 6
very ordinary looking lad, but apparently
has more go about him than his brother
The Princess Of Wales, who entered last
was las at all recent royal w~eddings) de
cidedly the most beautiful and graceful o
the party, and she was well suited by hel
white dress, with its trimmings Of natura
roses. Sne carried q splendid boquet.
