The Princess of Wales and her grandchildren, Lady Alexandra and Lady Maud Duff, daughters of Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife, 1895. 'The Princess of Wales has always made friends with children, so that it is not surprising that she fills the role of grandmother to perfection. Our portrait of her with the two children of her daughter the Duchess of Fife will be a delightful reminder, which is very necessary, owing to the Princess's youthful countenance, of the grade of relationship which she now occupies as the possessor of three grandchildren. The eldest of them is Lady Alexandra Victoria Alberta Edwina Louise Duff, who has just attained her fourth birthday; the second is Lady Maud Alexandra Victoria Georgia Bertha, aged two; while the third is the little son of the Duke and Duchess of York'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
