German Boys' Wedding Outfits Chronology: The 1950s -- Royal Couple

Figure 1.--This seems to be a royal wedding cremony, but we do not know who the royal couple is. The Germans had many royal houses for the different principalities, some related to the British royal family. This is all in additionl to the royal family--the Hohenzollerns. Thus royal weddings were not rare events. The weddibg couple here looks to be an older couple. We see a royal crown. The sign says 'Hoch lebe Köningspaar" meaning something like 'Long liv the royal couple'. There are three page boys weaing white shirts, bow ties, white knee socks, and black leather shoes. The portrait is undated. We would giess it was taken in the late-1950s, but the early-60s is possible.
