Princess Elizaveta of Romania, spouse of King George II of Greece
trentk80:
Yes, although nasty and selfish, I think she had a beautiful face. I guess that's why King George II of Greece fell in love with her.
Janet_W.:
Speaking of Princess Elizaveta, I have often wondered where she was during the 1914 state visit that Nicholas, Alexandra and their children made to the Romanian royal family. I have yet to see her in any of the photos, tho' perhaps I'm just not looking hard enough?! :o
cimbrio:
I've seen several photos of Nicholas and Alexandra (and children) during their state visit to Romania in June 1914. This was just before the first world war so perhaps it was the Romanov's last state visit anywhere... The photos can be seen in Prince Michael of Greece's book "Nicholas and Alexandra, a family album" (or something to that effect), though I've seen several online. In them you can see Alexis playing and hugging Princess Ileana. It's certainly a very tender thing to see when you remember how his life ended...

she was too artificial for my taste. i think mignon and ileana were much prettier

--- Quote ---She was, from what UI've read, a nasty woman... a Grand Duke from Russia once even wanted to amrry her, which I find amazing, but anyway. She once said something like this (don't quote me, I'm not reading it so it's not literal): "I've comitted every vice but one, and I don't want to die without having killed". Do you think she succeeded? She was however a very elegant woman and in my oppinion really beautiful...

Wilhelm II also wanted to marry her to one of his sons. Which one I do not know.
