Were Prince Felix Yusupov and GD Dimitri attending the ball or were they to young to be invited?

 If yes, are there any pictures of them in fancy dress? I was wondering how Felix with his special taste would have dressed.

Thank you for any information?

Thank you for the link, newfan! I'll look for them...

[yussupov29]

Is there a list with all attendants of the ball?

And why did Maria Feodorowna not attend? Does anybody know something about it? Was she still mourning and not allowed to go to balls, because she was widowed?

[newfan]

If I remember correctly she attended the second ball on 13 Feb....not the first on the 11Feb(I think she was sick????maybe I don't remember)There is a list of the people who attended the ball its in the book.I thing there is another link here that talks about it

Grand Duke Dmitri was definitely not present being barely 13 at the time.

This question may be asked before, but I would like to know it. From this thread and some other threads about the 1903 ball, I know grand duke Konstantin Konstantinovich was at the ball.
Did his mother, grand duchess Konstantin (Alexandra Iosifovna) and his brothers, attend the ball?

Interesting about the Beliaevs. I think I'm right in saying that their grandson John Shalikashvili was not only as US General, but Chairman of the American Joint Chiefs of Staff.

His mother was in a very bad health then, but brother Dmitriy did attend.
