Felix, the book I refered is in Russian and I think you cannot get it in the U.S. :(  The posted pictures are not out of that book.

Countess Catherine "Katya" von Carlow (1891-1940) married Prince Vladimir Golitsyn. The Golitsyns fled to England after the Revolution. They lived in London. I believe they owned an antiques shop. They had three sons.

The Golitsyns were very active in London's emigre community. I remember a friend of my grandmother's once told me, that everybody went to Princess Golitsyn for advice, and if they didn't, she went to them. ;)

She insisted on upholding the old hierarchy, using everyone's old titles, etc. No one would have dreamed of calling her Katya, for instance. She was Princess Golitsyn. That said, Princess Golitsyn was a really extraordinary woman. She had a kind heart and helped many less fortunate families in the Russian community.

After her death Prince Golitsyn married Lady Iris FitzGeorge.

I believe Catherine's mother died in France and is buried in Cannes.

Sad news, Marc. The owner of a book, which contains the photo of Princess Ekaterina and her children, refused to allow scanning and copying pictures from it.  :(
