Who did Maria resemble?

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

But Anastasia resembled her mother more than Maria, but you're totally right my sis!! I haven't noticed it before... this photo of her aunt Irene made me to think in this photo...

Sorry for the size... I think that the shape of the face is similar

Yes, because Nicky had a part of his father in him.
I can see that the original picture I posted disappeared.... so I´m re-posting:

I'm bumping an old thread and Im sorry about that. But Maria really does look like the woman in this picture, they have similar mouths and eyes. Is that Nicholas' mother?

[RealAnastasia]

Of course it is. She is Empress Maria Fyodorovna, wife of Alexander III of Russia. She was born as Princess Dagmar of Denmark, and was the sister of Queen Alexandra of the UNited Kingdom.

Here, Marie seems to have her grandmother's eyes and her grandfather's face.Her resemblence to Alexander III has always been noted, but I had never noticed how er eyes were like her grandmother's before.Interesting comparison..
