I Was Much the Same at the Same Age

, ,

In this 1955 photograph, 13 year old Princess Yvonne of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn in Germany is shown tipping back a bottle of Dry Sack sherry as her 12 year old brother Prince Alexander sits calmly by, his cigarette nearly finished.

The photo was taken while the siblings were aboard a private yacht off the coast of Mallorca. Before rushing to judgment on the lives of German nobility, it should be known that the photographer behind this image was the children’s mother, Princess Marianne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn.
