Not sure. Books on Ella seldom go on great detail about them.

If you are ready to read Russian  : ) I can give you a link to the LJ pages with my research on every lady-in-waiting of GDss Elizaveta.

The list of the GDss' ladies-in-waiting (to be more correct - maids-of-honor):
Princess Lyudmila Lobanova
Ekaterina Kozlianinova
Princess Maria Troubetzkaya
Princess Alexandra Lobanova
Princess Sophia Schakhovskaya
Maria Toropchaninova

That is the reason why the ladies were not better known by the English writers of Ella. They are not interested or do not know Russian. I do wonder how many of them went with Ella to her family in England, Germany and the Holy Lands.

There is a children's book in English that came out this month on the life of Saint Elizabeth. It came out in Romanian on November 2012.
It is titled HOLY NEW MARTYR ELIZABETH, GRAND DUCHESS OF RUSSIA by Catalin Grigore, illustrated by Adela Maria Callistru.
You can obtain it through  Saint Nectarios Press: http://www.orthodoxpress.org/catalog/new.htm
Here are links I found in Romanian which show some pictures from the book: http://edituraiona.blogspot.com/ and http://ortodoxiesiviata.blogspot.com/2012/11/povestea-adevarata-printesei-care.html

Some pages of the English edition of HOLY NEW MARTYR ELIZABETH, GRAND DUCHESS OF RUSSIA can be viewed here: http://ionapublishinghouse.blogspot.ro/, the blog of the publishing house.
