Grand Duchess Alexandra Iosifovna of Russia (née Princess of Saxe-Altenburg) with her granddaughters Princesses Alexandra and Marie “Minnie” of Greece and Denmark, 1880s 🤍✨

The two young girls would both end up marrying back into the Romanov family. Alexandra to Pavel Alexandrovich and Marie to Georgy Mikhailovich.

Queen Louise of Denmark, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna, and Princess Marie of Greece and Denmark (Greek Minnie)

All of them beautiful in their own way…even Greek Minnie looks lovely; her features did not yet show the “constant expression of displeasure” into which they would seem to set later in life.

In my opinion, King Christian IX and Queen Louise raised their children to occupy the high places they would in Imperial Europe and also did the work necessary to find those children appropriate grooms and brides…for the most part. gcl

That time the Warwicks harassed a mentally ill woman into marrying one of their princes is almost as bad as the time they married an 18-year-old girl to a 22-year-old man.

Josefine Swoboda (29 January 1861 – 27 October 1924) was an Austrian artist who focused on watercolor portraits. She was from a family of artists and her first lessons in painting were done with her father Eduard Swoboda.

New photo of members of the Greek and Russian Royal Families posted by Ilya aka LastRomanovs on Flickr and Sledstvie on Instagram

From left to right standing: Princess Marie of Greece and Denmark (later Grand Duchess Maria Georgievna of Russia), Grand Duke Georgy Alexandrovich of Russia, Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaevich of Russia

From left to right sitting: Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia, Tsarina Maria Feodorovna of Russia (née Princess Dagmar of Denmark), Prince Christopher of Greece and Denmark, Queen Olga of Greece and Denmark (née Grand Duchess Olga Konstantinovna of Russia)

No date of when and where this photo was taken was provided but it is most likely taken in the early 1890s (my guess is 1891) and probably when both Russian, Danish, and Greek royal families were in their yearly vacation to Denmark.

A Royal Life by HRH Duke of Kent & Hugo Vickers #HouseofWindsor #BookReview #Audiobook

I finally got around to listening to the #Dukeofkent's memoir recently. A cousin to the late #QueenElizabethII, he has also led a life of service. Famed royal historian #HugoVickers helped put together this book. #houseofwindsor #ARoyalLife #bookreview

His royal duties began when, in 1952, at the age of sixteen, he walked in the procession behind King George VI’s coffin, later paying homage to The Queen at her Coronation in 1953. Since…
