I love Ducky's tiara, she looks so grand. The Greek-key style looks contemporary even today on Crown Princess Margarita.
ReplyDeleteMarie & Kira were Princesses when the picture was taken. Not child or grandchild of a Tsar. Later their father elevated them when he claimed throne in exile
ReplyDeleteI am well aware of the fact that the girls were born Princesses and later became Grand Duchesses
