So, she has announced her engagement to her third cousin twice removed, Jack Brooksbanks. (Both are descendants of the second Coke Earl of Leicester.) He is a man who in Imperial Russia would be looked down upon as nothing more than a glorified waiter, as he is peddling alcohol without owning any vineyards or distilleries.

Russians noticed her similarity to the painting "Царевна-Лебедь" - the Swan Princess by Mikhail Vrubel on her wedding day: https://ru-royalty.livejournal.com/6800274.html

This is one of Fergie's daughters, right?
