What became of Tatiana Mountbatten? A quick Google search doesn't reveal much, and I don't recall reading much about her.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about Tatiana in my book. She was mentally handicapped. She was largely cared for by her aunt Zia, especially after George's death as Nada was not a good mother. She lived her final years in an institution.
ReplyDeleteThat's sad to hear. I don't think I've ever read a positive account of Nada, although George seems to have been very respected.
