Watching TV I stumbled on an interview given by Princess Elizabeth were she made available some parts of Princess Olga's diary in which she wrote about a private dinner in Buckingham palace and how the King George V,Queen Mary and her parents wanted a marriage between her and Prince of Wales(Edward VIII)...after dinner she attended a ball which she described in her diary as very boring,knowing virtually nobody and how she danced only 2 times and that was with Prince Paul who was the only spotlight for her that night...She wrote day after:"He promised to call at 14-30...now is 15-20.Maybe he completely forgot about me."
He called later and invited her to the cinema.Soon after that they became engaged-one Thursday as she wrote and married in 1923.They spent 5 weeks of their honeymoon in Italy on the estate of Princess Demidov,Prince Paul's aunt..."My happiness is growing every moment,every second and the time with him seems like passing away so quickly..."
Princess Elizabeth also showed a handkerchief of Grand Duchess Olga,daughter of Nicholas with her initials which was found in Yekaterinburg after they died...
