Another image of the Princess

The Princess Sophia-Maria was long known, before the war, to be beautiful, fun loving, adventurous, and carefree. Qualities excellently represented in this photograph. Certainly not taken on or near the estates of post-war Altenwald or the Chateux St. Cyr, the location is unsubstantiated.

Perhaps the photograph was taken in Cuba during the family's escape from Europe

On the other hand, the Wandel properties in Chile are bordered on the eastern side by the lake, San Miguel. The Graf, Carl Heinz-Ludwig is known to have spent countless hours on or about the lake, in the company of his friend Peter Faltenberg during the warm months of Winter. Perhaps this image captures the Princess during such a happy occassion.

She is not known to have visited Chile before the war.
