I wondered why on earth they spoke English when addressing the Russian people around the world!!! It just doesn't make sense to me! My grand father and his siblings and parents were all white Russians and they all spoke Russian and French and English was at least their third language until they ended up settling in the UK, the Colonies and the States! Why did Kyril speak in English? It was super to hear them speak, and Kyril had very little accent that I could hear! Unlike Queen Mary who I do not think looks like her voice, Ducky really does 'look' like her voice to me....very Lady Bracknell- ish to me...I think she had a very 'handbag' voice!
