You can tell which Beatrice, Victoria, or Eugenie in history is by the clothing…

if you know roughly the years of their adulthood.

Always the height of fashion, from Queen Victoria’s 1837 forward, the English Royals were on top of it.  Before that it had been the French.

French influence was fading fast with only Eugenie left at the height of fashion in the 1850’s-’60’s.  Queen Victoria took command of European and American fashion, but with the Asias becoming accessible, and travel and communication opening up the globe, by the end of Victoria’s reign there was a virtual “explosion” of fashion ideals with influences from every country in the world.

(Portrait: Even in 1928, Her Highness Beatrice of Battenburg (daughter of Queen Victoria of England) wore the height of fashion.  Note the pearls that were handed down from mothers to daughters, and the middle eastern influence in the fabrics and patterns by the ’20’s in this picture.)
