Life Magazine has recently allowed Google to start posting millions of old photos from Life's archives, including many that have never been seen before. I noticed several here that UK coin collectors might enjoy perusing!
I never thought that growing old would happen so fast.

Yup.

She would have looked good on coins.

Hmmm...the caption for the photo on that website claimed it was Vicky's eldest.

Queen Victoria's daughter Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa 1840-1901 was Pricess Royal of Great Britain and for a time Crown Princess of Prussia.
Wilhelm II 's (son of V.A.D.L. just above) had a daughter Viktoria Luise 1892-1980. From the detail of the picture and the title of "plain" princess, I tend to think it was the latter.
Note neither had the exact name "Louise".
Of the 3 Victoria's, only the youngest was alive then.
Both Queen and Emperesses Victoria's, mother and daughter, Britain and Prussia, India and Germany died in 1901.
