Die Hochzeit von Elisabeth in Whitehall am 14. Februar 1613, beschrieben von einem gewissen Mr. John Chamberlain: "By ten o'clock the crowds were already overwhelming. ... Elizabeth 'in a suit of cloth of silver, richly embroidered with silver; her train carried up by thirteen young Ladies, or Lords' daughters at least, besides five or six that could not come near it.' She was preceded by Lord Harington, and escorted by two bachelors, her brother Prince Charles and Lord Northampton. She was wearing 'her Hair hanging down long, and a rich coronet on her head.' After her procession came that of her parents. Anne of Denmark, 'all in white', was not very rich, thought Mr Chamberlain, except in jewels. The bridegroom was dressed in a suit made of the same material as the bride's gown." Ein anderer Beobachter beschreibt die Kleidung der Braut noch bis ins kleinste Detail: Sie hatte "upon her head a crown of refined golde, made Imperiall by the pearles and diamonds thereupon placed, which were so thicke beset that they stood like shining pinnacles upon her amber-coloured haire, dependantly hanging, playted down over her shoulders to her waiste, between every plaight a roll or liste of gold-spangles, pearles, rich stone, and diamonds, and withall, many diamonds of inestimable value embrothered upon her sleeves ... [her train was borne] in most sumptuous manner by fourteen of fifteene Ladies, attired in white satten gownes." (in: Carola Oman: Elizabeth of Bohemia, id., p. 81).
"Many engravings of Frederick and Elizabeth were published at the time of their wedding. Little trace of the romantic good looks so universally attributed to both bride and bridegroom is discernible in any of these likeness, hurriedly executed to meet a popular demand. The young couple are eclipsed by their elaborate costumes, and do not even appear to be young. But it is impossible to discount the evidence of contemporary writers that Elizabeth was the most beautiful princess in Europe, and Frederick worthy of her. ... At sixteen, Frederick was still, in popular parlance, "a beardless boy". But his glowing olive complexion, ardent black eyes and look of youth and health, were evidently attractive, and he had address and culture beyond his years." (in: Carola Oman: Elizabeth of Bohemia, id., p. 84).
Elisabeths Aufbruch von Rochester in ihre neue Heimat, die Pfalz: "Every member of the royal party behaved characteristically when the time came for farewells on the afternoon of April 14th [1513]. Anne of Denmark left first. She was going on a progress to Bath. The queen drove off in tears. The princess began to weep. She could not take comfort in her father's vague talk of coming to see her in her own court, or in the prospect of future visits to England. Her heart was, in her own words, 'pressed and astounded'. James ... applied himself to Frederick with gusto, and Frederick, much affected, unwarily promised everything James asked. Unfortunately for the Palsgrave's future happiness, this included demands that his bride should take precedence of himself, his mother and any other princess she might meet in Germany. Prince Charles was to see his sister aboard the Prince Royal'. They reached Sittingbourne that night, and Canterbury the next day. Elizabeth then sat six days in the Deanery at Canterbury, waiting for news of a favourable wind. She wrote to James 'the king of fathers, the best and most amiable father that the sun will ever see', assuring him that she would never forget him. ... James, perhaps alarmed by his daughter's warmly expressed wish that she might return to him once more to kiss his hands, sent peremptory orders to Prince Charles not to linger any longer at Canterbury. On the 21st April the little prince sadly bade his sister farewell. On the same day Elizabeth left for Margate (wo die Schiffsreise dann am 25. April begann)." (in: Carola Oman: Elizabeth of Bohemia, id., p. 97-99).
