The choice of the American Consuelo [Duchess of Marlborough] and three other tall duchesses [Winifred Cavendish-Bentinck, Duchess of Portland; Millicent Leveson-Gower, Duchess of Sutherland & Violet Graham, Duchess of Montrose] was orchestrated by Alexandra for effect rather than tradition, as the biographer Tisdall related:

Four of these ladies who were to stand by her throne in the Abbey and 'arrange' her crown, she was going to pick for herself. She was not interested in dusty claims or precedents and was sorry to cause disappointment if somebody had already selected them for her. She would have four Duchesses. The really important thing was that they should all be tall like herself. They must all be beautiful and they must have a certain similarity of appearance. She was not going to have the effect spoiled by some lady who did not match the rest (Tisdall 1953: 201).

According to Edward himself, it was successful, and he wrote that the synchronization of these ladies as they placed their coronets upon their heads when Alix was crowned was 'like a scene from a beautiful ballet' (Fisher 1974: 169).

The Godolphins!

This is something you've asked me a lot, and now that @danjaley has released their new Romanov Pose Pack (and I can take screenshots again), I can finally show you the Godolphins in detail!

(Obsessed with this posepack)

Let's see who's who!

There are 4 groups signaled by letters, these are the Dowager Duchess and the families of her 3 daughters. The daughters' letters are in order of age. Let's see!

1a: The Hon. Lady Marjorie Alexandra Godolphin, Duchess of Southport.

2a: The Hon. Lord Esmond Nicholas Godolphin, XIVth Duke of Southport

3a: The Hon. Lord William III Evelyn Godolphin, XVIth Marquess of Portborough.

1b: the Hon. Lady Diana Wilhemina Stanhope (née Godolphin) Countess of Mexborough.

2b: The Hon. Lord Cecil Alexander Stanhope, XIth Earl of Mexborough

3b: The Hon. Lord Colin Saint George Stanhope, Viscount Yeoville.

1c: The Hon. Lady Elizabeth Winifred Harmsworth (née Godolphin) Marchioness of Rothermere

2c: The Hon. Lord Vere Sidney Tudor Harmsworth, Marquess of Rothermere.

3c: The Hon. Lord Vere Esmond William Harmsworth, Viscount Daylesford.

4c: The Hon. Lady Winifred Victoria Harmsworth.

D: The Hon. Lady Marjorie Millicent Godolphin (née Dallas-Yorke) Dowager Duchess of Southport (and older sister to Winifred Cavendish-Bentick [née Dallas-Yorke] Duchess of Portland)

The eldest sons of each marriage have what's called a "courtesy title", except for William, who as the eldest son of a Duke, receives his father's subsidiary title, Marquess. The son's subsidiary title is Viscount, followed by the place where their parent's ancestral home is. Lady Winifred, is just a Hon. Lady, a courtesy address only the children of the highest ranking peers (in the order of precedence) receives.

The setting is the Red Saloon at Finchwick Park, the Godolphin's ancestral home.

Pretty much every piece of clothing was masterfully converted from ts4 by @joojconverts most hairs are either from TS3, TS3 Store, @carversims or from Buckley's Disentangled Set Part 1 . The shoes are all from TS3 Store or the Supernatural pack.

The backround is decorated with Unreleased paintings and Rug, but I assure you, you'll get them eventually! Excuse the shoes sinking on the floor, There's a resizing OMSP under the rug haha. In the backround we see 3 portraits, over the mantelpiece hangs the portrait of the Godolphin sisters when bachelorettes, masterfully executed by John Singer Sargent in 1905 (the portrait is originally Sargent's Acheson sisters)

Hope you enjoy this as much as I've enjoyed making this lol.

I'm visiting the Sargent and Fashion exhibition in Tate Britain at the moment and you know what? Fuck everything, I don't care about anything but this exhibition anymore.

I will be thinking about this for the rest of my life. It is now a fundamental part of my character and will be for the rest of time.

I'm gonna embrace my slumbering artistry in all it's chaotic glory from now on. As over the top and scattered and wild as I can be because fuck, this is what I want my life to be about. I want to feel as alive as these paintings made me feel every day.

This passion that was put on display, this command of colour, and perspective, and characteristics and intimacy.

I am genuinely having an existential crisis. I'm serious. I cannot stop thinking about the portrait of Winifred, Duchess of Portland; about the obvious distinction of fabric in her white satin gown and the red velvet cloak.

[garlandedspirits]

The lovely and admirable Winifred Anna Cavendish-Bentinck, (née Dallas-Yorke) Duchess of Portland. A devoted humanitarian and animal rights activist, she was the first and longest serving president of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and was vice-president of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, third President of the Nottinghamshire Beekeepers' Association, president of the ladies committee of the RSPCA, Justice of the Peace for Nottinghamshire and much more:

“In 1889, she persuaded the duke to use a large portion of his horseracing winnings to build almshouses at Welbeck, which he named "The Winnings." She cared greatly for the local miners and supported them by paying for medical treatments, and organising cooking and sewing classes for their daughters. She also sponsored a miner, with an interest in art, to study in London.”

“The Duchess of Portland was a passionate animal lover, who kept stables for old horses and ponies, as well as dogs needing homes (...)”
