King George II & Queen Elizabeth (nee Romania)

[KarlandZita]

I just found somewhere on the web that George and Elizabeta are already frequented before the great war and they seemed to have feelings for each other. Thus, their marriage seven years later was not only a political arrangement. I do not know yet if this is the exact truth. Can someone enlighten me more detail on this point ? Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I am nicely struck by how much Elisabeth resembles the silent movie actress Pola Negri, who was Polish...
Elisabeth looks very nice & glamourous in this picture.

Karlandzita. Youcan find all that info in Elisaveta`s topic. I read about it there

[KarlandZita]

OK, thank you for the info.

Elizabeth was less in love than George was.

[KarlandZita]

Yes, I suspected as much. But which of the two spouses filed for divorce ?

[Eric_Lowe]

I think Elisabetta, since she was the richer spouse as she inheirited a fortune after the death of her father.

No , its Mignon AKa maria of Yugoslavia

This is Elisaveta as a child

Elisaveta as a grown woman scares me! xDD

Ps: can someone identify the lady next to Giorgos?¿

Yes wearing Queen Olga of Greece's famous emeralds. She later sold them to Queen Frederica of Greece !

Princess Margarita of Greece ! Prince Philip's sister.

Thank you!

Another of Giorgos. I find him so handsome!

Thank you!

Another of Giorgos. I find him so handsome!

George was certainly a handsome man in his youth. But as seen in this photo posted by Katenka Fyodorovna, he was quickly marked by age, evidence prematurely worn out by power and by many exiles and blows of fate that affected his family.

i think he still looks rather handsome. Oh well. i like older men xDD
