Tsar Alexander I and Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia & King Frederick William III and Queen Louise of Prussia at Rueil-Malmaison, France
Alexander I (23 December 1777 - 1 December 1825 reigned as Emperor of Russia from 23 March 1801 to 1 December 1825. He was the son of Paul I and Sophie Dorothea of Württemberg. Alexander was the first Russian King of Poland, reigning from 1815 to 1825, as well as the first Russian Grand Duke of Finland. Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia (16 February 1786 - 23 June 1859) was the third daughter of Paul I of Russia and Sophie Dorothea of Württemberg. She was the Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach by her marriage to Charles Frederick, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. She was the sister of Alexander I. Frederick William III (3 August 1770 - 7 June 1840) was king of Prussia from 1797 to 1840. He ruled Prussia during the difficult times of the Napoleonic Wars and the end of the Holy Roman Empire. Steering a careful course between France and her enemies, after a major military defeat in 1806, he eventually and reluctantly joined the coalition against Napoleon in the Befreiungskriege. Following Napoleon's defeat he was King of Prussia during the Congress of Vienna which assembled to settle the political questions arising from the new, post-Napoleonic order in Europe. Duchess Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Luise Auguste Wilhelmine Amalie; 10 March 1776 – 19 July 1810) was Queen of Prussia as the wife of King Frederick William III. The couple's happy, though short-lived, marriage produced nine children, including the future monarchs Frederick William IV of Prussia and German Emperor Wilhelm I. This photo was taken during the 3rd Imperial Jubilee in and around the Château de Malmaison and Château de Vert-Mont in Rueil-Malmaison, France. It was formerly the residence of Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais and was, with the Tuileries, from 1800 to 1802 the headquarters of the French government, and Napoleon's last residence in France at the end of the Hundred Days in 1815.
