Funeral of the Mainglon Princess - C Road, Mandalay c. 1890s
The Mainglong Princess Thu Thiri Kaytha Waddy was born 1867 and was a daughter of King Mindon and the Thayasin Queen (Thayasin Myoza Mibuya). In 1894 she married her half-brother the Kawlin Prince and had two children before she died in 1898, aged 31.
