Although from all eye witnesses and himself, Willy tried to ignore Ella after her marriage to Serge. The fact that he stood so close to her here, maybe that he couldn't get away from her.

Still couldn't find the discussion but I did find the blow-up (from a thread on Ella's suitors)

i heard that the womans has little bags in ther dresses,so there was place for the cigaretts. On this pic Irene have a bag. Mabe she did really smoked.

oki thanks ^^

Yeah i think too, just the reason why i was wonderd was that i never saw Ella & Irene smoked (or has a cigarett in their hands or something like that) on the pics.

I don't think they would ever have been photographed smoking, if they did actually smoke, unless it was in a very informal and unposed family setting.  It wasn't the done thing for women of their generation to appear with cigarettes in public - as Queen Victoria would have said, would give them a very "fast" reputation.

Victoria Milford Haven certainly smoked. According to the biography by Richard Hough, she was introduced to it by the Kaiser when still a teenager.

Ann

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. Also Alicky and Ella also smoked too.

[Russka Princess]

And Irene... i think.. of course we cant really sure but if such a Angel like Ella smoked..(what i have never thought, its really surprise me) than mabe Irene too.

[Eric_Lowe]

Ella did smoked.

[Russka Princess]

So we can say  the whole Family did smoked.

[Eric_Lowe]

It would seems so.

 I have read in the book "Prinz Heinrich von preussen "

Irene and Henry loved to make music, they has a musicroom whith a big piano and a violin. And they played together music, i think Irene piano and Henry on the violin. He playd once in a orchester with his violin. Mabe they did sing aswell. And they loved to ride on horses, i saw a pic of both on horses.
