Pearls | Pearl necklace The Princess Beatrice Princess Beatrice the youngest child of Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort Albert was born on April 14, 1857 at Buckingham Palace. The Queen mother herself worte to her uncle, the King of the Belgians, early in May, the reason whey these names were chosen: "She is to be called Beatrice, a fine old name, worne by three of the Plantagenet princesses and her other names will be Mary (after poor Aunt Mary), Victoria after Mamma and Vicke who with Fritz Wilhelm, are to be the sponsors and Feodore". Feodore, it will be remembered, was the name of the Queen´s half-sister, the child of the Duchess of Kent by her first-marriage and between whom Queen Victoria the closest attnehment exist. When she married the Prince Henry of Battenberg in 1885 a provision granted by parliament, it was the same as that for Princess Alice and Luise, a dower of £30 000 and an allowance of £6000 a year. The pendant on the right is a wedding gift of her husband, setted with diamonds and a sapphire cabochon, she is wearing this pendant on a string of pearls. Behind in the smaller picture the princess wear some pearl jewels and a large brooch with a pear shaped hanging pearl. Princess Beatrice lost pearls and a parure of emeralds in a fire 1892, at Heiligenberg Palace, home of her husband. She started the fire, chasing gnats with a candle. It´s nothing known about the emeralds, but it´s been cited in some court circulars as she was wearing an emerald tiara to some events.
