The Prettiest/Handsomest/Cutest/Most Beautiful

[Olishka~ Pincess]

The girl is an newbie anyone who is new here is more than welcome to start a thread. I totally agree RealAnastasia, it not nice to be rude like that. It may hurt their feelings. In my opnion I thought all the girls look pretty in their own way.  But, it very nice to have a introduction for the newbie. Realy it should be said like this, more nicer:

Hello, thank you for expressing you opinion on what you said about which grand duchesses is the prettiest. But there has been many threads started on this subject. Please have time to search and read further in the previous threads that have been started in the Having fun section and the OTMA discussion threads. It may be best to reply somewhere in the old threads that have been started earlier. I hope you find them. Good Luck! Have a wonderful time on this forum.

Most new people don't know about the old threads. A nice way to show them is to post a link to the old threads and say, here, you might like to see these threads! Sometimes people really appreciate it. I hope fairycutie will continue to join us here and have fun on the forums!

Yes a genuine welcome to all newbies. It's wonderful to have people interested. As for the prettiest, I think they were all attractive. I have always liked Maria. I can see why her first cousin Earl Mountbatten of Burma had thoughts of wanting to marry her. Perhaps it was her gentle nature and beautiful warm and loving eyes. It would have been nice to think that not all of the girls were carriers of the blood disease like their Mother and maternal grandmother, Alice. What joy great-grandmother Queen Victoria would have received in knowing these great-granddaughters.

Yes Annie that also works posting a link to the old thread. Great opinion you have Dmitri, although I liked Olga mostly, becuase of her poems and letters are great and I like her personality.. But, I still like all of them.

Aren't Tatiana and Maria usually considered the beauties, wheras Olga and Anastasia's looks are 'modest?' That's what i've read *shrug*

I think that Maria and Olga were the most beautiful. Maria did go through a little 'awkward' stage around 1914, but when she starts putting her hair up, she looks absolutly stunning. By today's standards, Olga was the prettiest child, but apparently at ten she was 'plain,' Again, when she started putting her hair up she looks stunning. Same with Anastasia.

Of course it's entirly subjective, and it matter at all really. They were all very beautiful young women, not only because of their looks.

Sorry about my awful spelling.

Yes, I think they were all lovely, just in somewhat different ways, as RealAnastasia said so eloquently. And beauty is a very subjective thing too!

To me, Tatiana has the most classic beauty, plus being very stylish and chic.

Olga to me is not quite the beauty that Tatiana was--still I have to admit that I sometimes have trouble telling them apart in photos! Olga was still a very lovely girl.

Marie was beautiful too, but in a different way entirely (IMHO) than her older sisters. She looked more "Russian" with a broader face and cheekbones, but yes, she was stunning.

Anastasia to me is the least beautiful of the girls, but then again she died so young--she may well have blossomed into a stunning beauty herself if only she had lived a bit longer.    I agree that she is much more a tomboyish type. Still she had a charming face and beautiful eyes and hair, I would say she was more "cute" or "pixie-like" than a classic beauty--but she was very pretty anyway!

And I must admit that as much as I admire all the girls, I think I would have liked Anastasia the most---I love her sense of humor, her charm, her mischievous personality. To me, personality and charm trump mere "looks" any day of the week!!!

[Grand Duchess Natasha]

Personally, I believe Maria to be the prettiest overall. She just strikes me as so incredibly beautiful with those huge gorgeous eyes and her chubby but lovely face and shape.

I think all the Grand Duchesses were very lovely in their own ways.

I guess I would almost go as far as to say where Tatiana is the most classically beautiful...Maria had a more modern beauty to her.

Modern?

Oh no.

I´m Slavonian and so I can tell you that Maria represents the untimed dream about Slavonic beauty.

[charley]

Yes, I have to agree. There is definitely something different about Maria's look. It is in her eyes. I was just looking through many pictures of her and was quite interested to note that in so many pictures, she is looking away from the camera. Some look as if she is daydreaming and others like she was distracted by something.

I think it is wonderful for new people to come to this website and be so excited about the family. Why not just erase the old post and let new people start the threads that interest them. New people may equal new ideas or new ways of looking at things or maybe actual new information. I never get tired of rehashing stories or info about the family. If anyone is tired of talking about the family and have become bored with them.....................................................leave!

well stated charley! :-)

[Ally Kumari]

OK!

So I can finally say it:

Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova is the most beautiful girl I´ve ever seen in my life.

Well obviously it's good that people get interested in the Romanovs but we're not going to just erase everything so you can talk about it again. If there's already a thread on something why can't you just post on that one? There's no sense in losing things just so new people can start it again and again and again... You actually lose information that way. It's not 'rehashing' it's just clogging up the forum with the same stuff. There isn't even any information you can get from this subject. They were each pretty. How would you feel if your sisters died and afterwords people were debating about which was the prettiest? It's a petty question and there's nothing to get from it. Believe me, you would get tired of it too if you'd been here as long as some of us have. It makes absolutely no sense for someone posting here to be bored talking about them because obviously, if they're here, they're not. And I'm pretty sure you're not going to make anyone leave.

[Grand Duchess Natasha]

I just think Maria has what I consider to be a more modern view of pretty. Big beautiful eyes, full lips, a fuller figure....modern looking wheras like Tatiana look classically beautiful with her selnder frame and thin, delcicate facial features.

I can't speak for all, that is simply my opinion. I would love to look like Maria....she was incredibly beautiful.

[granduchess_leah]

i don't think none them were pretty i think they all were i mean being beautiful its just about looks its about personalty as well
and all of the girls had beautiful personalities.. 

[charley]

Sometimes it is hard to go to a very old post and strike up a dialogue or ask a question after so many years. I was just refering to getting rid of some of the post that became ugly and maybe some of the newbies would handle it differently. From what I understand, some people have been kicked off this site for their behavior. That's all.
