I will never get over how a young AM looks so much like her great-great aunt, dagmar (future empress of russia as maria feodorovna), around the same age.

what's stranger is that her mother, ingrid of sweden, in my opinion, also resembles dagmar, yet anne-marie is principally (i mean they're all related) related to dagmar through her father, not ingrid.
