Empress Alexandra & Queen Marie of Romania both had clothes from "Worth".  What or who is "Worth".  Is it a "store" or is it a designer or is it a "Design House"?

Is it still in existance?

Where else did Empress Alexandra "buy' clothes for herself and her daughters?

Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna / Ella and her foster children Marie Pavlovna and Dmitri

« on: September 05, 2005, 01:58:20 PM »

What was the problem here?  

I have read in several places that Ella loved children.  I have read she was very close to Felix & Dimitri both as children and young adults.

Why could she not mother or get on with her ward Marie Pavlovna The Younger?

Having Fun! / Your Personal Top Ten Favorite Royal List

« on: August 06, 2005, 11:12:02 AM »

Drumroll & Bagpipes please:

1.  Missy, Queen Marie of Romania-got lemons and made lemonade
2.  Alix, Queen Alexanda of Great Britian-looked beautiful and 30 years old until the day she died
3.  Sarah, Duchess of York-a survivor
4.  Wallis, Duchess of Windsor-style & wit
5.  Old Emerald & Diamond Drawers May, Queen Mary of Great Britian-the most devoted royal to the Monarchy and for her taste in jewels
6.  Miechen, Marie Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia-wit, style and ambition
7.  Bertie, Edward VII of Great Britian-very underated King.  The world would be very different if he had lived to 1920
8.  Fat Mary, Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck-my kind of gal with great taste & style in jewelry and she gave us Old Diamond & Emerald Drawers
9.  Leopold, Duke of Albany-intelligence!  Would have made a great King or Prime Minster
10. Victoria, Marchioness Milford Haven-becuase of her pure common sense and intelligence.

QEII is not on my list because she is in a class all her own.
