Does anybody knows who the Princess might be and what jewels she might be wearing?

It is Princess Elsa of Württemberg, later Princess of Schaumburg-Lippe:

Wow, I thought it would remain a mystery but you have found the answer!
It didn't look like CPss Cecilie, but I only remember photos of Dss Elsa as a younger woman.
