BERLIN, GERMANY - 24 May 1913 - Formal portrait of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia ( 1868 - 1918 ), left, with King George V of England ( 1865 - 1936 ), right, both in full military German dress during a visit to Berlin, Germany in 1913. This picture was taken during the wedding of the Kaiser’s daughter Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia. The wedding, an extravagant affair, took place on 24 May 1913 in Berlin. In a diplomatic gesture, Emperor Wilhelm invited almost his entire extended family. The wedding became the largest gathering of reigning monarchs in Germany since German unification in 1871, and one of the last great social events of European royalty before World War I began fourteen months later. Tsar Nicholas II is in the uniform of the Westphalian Hussars and King George V in the uniform of the Rhenish Cuirassiers – their respective German regiments. In that era it was common for European royalty to promote each other into each other’s militaries - Photo: Geopix
