The future King Albert I and Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians.

Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna the Elder had allegedly hoped that her daughter, Elena Vladimirovna, might marry the then-Prince Albert, heir to his uncle King Leopold II's throne. But before a visit to Russia could be arranged, the Belgian prince announced his engagement to Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria, a niece of the famous Sisi. Funnily enough, Elena's middle daughter Elizabeth of Greece would grow up to marry a nephew of Queen Elisabeth's, Karl Theodor zu Toerring Jettenbach, the eldest son of Queen Elisabeth's sister Sophie.
