A confetti bag for the wedding of Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (1887-1969). This silk and gilt cone of rice confetti, with the initials VE adorning the side, is thought to have belonged to a bridesmaid of Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg and carried at the wedding. The confetti is still inside as tragedy struck the wedding procession when an anarchist threw a bomb at the royal carriage and an outrider was killed. Victoria Eugenia was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She was Queen Consort of Spain as the wife of King of Spain Alfonso XIII of Bourbon, whom she married on 31 May 1906
