Some interesting pictures. Unfortunately, each time I clicked on one, I not only got the picture but some others  showing bodybuilders with captions such as 'Want to increase your muscle mass?'!!!

Was the picture in the gondola taken around the time of Boris and Giovanna's wedding?

Strange. I'm using 2 pcs and on neither I see such stuff. Next time I'll go with the good old Tinypic. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's from 1926.

Perhaps it's my browser.

Boris and Giovanna married in 1929 so presumably they knew one another for quite a long time beforehand. His mother was a Bourbon-Parma, so was he perhaps related to Giovanna?

I just remembered that I'm using addblockers :-).

According to Stephane Groueff, Boris and Giovanna first met in September 1927. That picture is from Boris' first trip abroad as tsar \1926\.

Who then is the lady with him in the gondola?

I think it could be his sister Eudoxia.

[Kalafrana]

That sounds realistic. They are obviously not a courting couple from the body language, but I believe that Boris was on good terms with his brother and sisters.

According the bulgarian archives, its Eudoxia.

Great pictures,guys. The woman next to Boris is Eudoxia for sure. Is it confirmed that the photo was taken circa 1926?

Well, the description of the photo says so. :-)

Снимка на цар Борис ІІІ и княгиня Евдокия с гондола по каналите на Венеция по време на посещението им там през 1926 г.
Албумът е подарен от подполковник Първан Драганов, флигеладютант на цар Борис ІІІ, на 3 окт. 1926 г. в памет от първото пътуване на царя в чужбина.

Hi!
Can I ask you if you know where this photo comes exactly?? I need to know it for a historic research. Thanks

And who is the lady on the right, holding Simeon? Is she Giovanna's mother, or perhaps Boris's stepmother?

It's not Queen Eleonore for sure,I think it's Elena...

[Carolath Habsburg]

Yup, Its Queen Elena of Italy.
