After seeing Xenia's dresses in person, I was amazed how very tiny she must have been!

Does anyone have ever seen a photo of Xenia at the coronation in 1896 ? Did she attend at all ??

Yes. She did. In Robert Massie 's book. At the coronation she wore rubies as big as hen's eggs...

Is there a picture of Grand Duchess Xenia wearing her regimental attire?

I've been searching for such a picture for months. Still nothing. I collect photos of Royal ladies in military uniforms and Xenia's photo is one of my dreams. Still hope the photo exists.

Yes, but only until 1938. She was then moved to Wilderness House.

Actually, all these people look much too large to be the grand duchess, but I have made mistakes when it comes to photo ids, so who knows?
