Denmark


is it just me, or does the lady sitting across from Alexandra, look like Olga Konstantinovna, queen of the Hellenes?

Yes, great pictures as always.

I have the last picture, and yes it's Queen Olga. She is sitting next to Princess Marie of Denmark, and opposite them, with her back is Thyra of Cumberland. Alexandra of Wales is writting a letter in the other room. Also in the picture is Queen Louise and of course MF.

thank you for the correction re: Thyra.


at first i was puzzled as to why Olga was in this photo.  but wasn't her husband the brother of Minnie, Alix & Thyra?
(i can't recall for sure, at the moment...)

Yes, Olga was married to their brother Wilhelm, who was the king of Greece under the name George.

Yes. George I of Greece. So it is natural that she was in the picture. Olga was much preferred than Swan in the family.
