This photo, showing Prince Albert as the head of household supported by a dutiful wife, dates to shortly before he died in 1861. The Ladies, except for little Beatrice, wear crinolines with high necklines and straight coiffures. Princess Royal Victoria is in the foreground wearing a paletot and muff while Princess Helena to the left wears a lace shawl. Prince Alfred's arm appears to vanish in Princess Alice's pagoda sleeves to right, suggesting this is a composited image. An image of Princess Alice wearing the dress seen in this image can be seen here, the exact image of Princess Beatrice can be seen here, Princess Helena can be seen wearing the same dress and lace shawl here.
