Ella Stats

Most likely it would either be in Darmstadt or the Russian archievs.

Like Audrey Hepburn short I think.

I read that it short enough for her sister Victoria to accidentaly mistake her for a guy.

Sorry, but didn't Ella have long hair? When and why did she cut it so short?

Exact exept for the nun gown: it was the paintor Mikhail Nesterov's design...

Thanks, Lisa! =]

She cut it short when she became a nun.

[Lalee]

Like bob short?

Did she keep it like that till the end? Any photos by chance?

[amartin71718]

I have been looking for any photos of her without her veil on. Haven't had any luck so far.

i have found a couple of pics of her without her grey head thing on. They are on pg. 33 in the Ella in Pictures thread. They are towards the middle of the page. Bear with me, I'm still trying to work out how to post pictures.

This is an excerpt from a biograpy on Ella that I found on the main AP site.
"Yet she never became rigid, or stern or morose, she even retained some of the gaiety that had made her so enchanting as a young girl. Once, when her sister Princess Victoria, Marchioness of Milford Haven, was staying at the convent with her second daughter, Princess Louise, the door of their bedroom was opened early one morning, and a small cropped head looked in on them with a laughing "Hallo", Startled, Lady Milford Haven thought at fIrst that some mischievous boy had found his way into the convent, and was invading her room, until she realized with a rucfullaugh, that it was her sister, without her veil, her lovely hair cut close to her head."

By the way, what's a rucfullaugh?

By the way, what's a rucfullaugh?

Might be a spelling error?

Reading this paragraph, I'd imagine that her hair may have even been a little shorter than Audrey Hepburn's..

[Kimberly]

I think "rucfullaugh" is a typo for rueful laugh

How much do you think Ella weighed? Random question, I know.

[tom_romanov]

well she was quite slender perhaps 8-10 stone?

[amartin71718]

8-10 stone? What's that supposed to mean?

[tom_romanov]

8-10 stone? What's that supposed to mean?

Oh I'm sorry in England we use weigh our seleves in stone e.g I weigh 5.5 stone= 34.92 kilograms

so back to Ella, perhaps 50 kilograms to 63 kilograms

[amartin71718]

110-138 lbs. I would think that she would have weighed more than 110 lbs. I'm 14 and I weigh 115 lbs/52.163 kg. Of course, people back then were generally smaller, weren't they? Also, she didn't eat much. Hmm...

[tom_romanov]

was Ella taller than Ailx? if we knew how much Alix weighed then we could work out Ella
