Photos of Tatiana with David, Prince of Wales?

[winter_phoenix]

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a picture of Grand Duchess Tatiana with David, Pince of Wales (aka Edward VIII and the Duke of Windsor).  I haven't pulled it up with any searches.  I know the Russian Imperial Family visited their English relatives in Cowes in 1909, but have come up blank on photos.  ANY photos of the two familes together???  Many thanks!  (I'm also going to ask under the Windors thread.)

This is probably the most famous one of the Romanovs & Windsors, 1910:


I'm not sure if these are the Windsor cousins or not. It's labeled in my collection as "girliesdicky":



I have other Romanov/Windsor photos, but they're not of the full families together. If you're interested in photos of smaller groups like OTMA & Queen Alexandra, or NII & George V, etc. let me know, and I'll post them, too.

The cousins in the second photo are the cousins from Battenburg.

Yes-Dicky refers to Prince Louis Battenberg, AKA, Mountbatten, Earl of Burma.

They really didn't meet much. There was only the one trip to England and I think GV's children were only in Denmark once or twice during the big family gatherings. Were GV and his family on the Reval trip--the one that was photographed in QA's photo albums? Those are the only potential overlaps I can think of. GV and his family weren't at Alice's wedding in Hesse and neither sets of children were at Victoria Louise's wedding in 1913--the last time NII and GV met.

Thank you so much.  What I'm really looking for is any photo of David, PoW, with any member of OTMA, preferably Tatiana -- but if there's one of the young Windsors with the young Romanovs, that would be great too.  THANKS!

Thanks so much for the info.

There was also this one. It's from an old magazine article 'Relaxation of Royalties' which showed the extended Danish royal family taking photographs, etc...David is in the sailor suit on the steps where Tatiana & Olga are sitting. Queen Alexandra is taking a photo--I'd love to see her photos from that trip.

Wow, thanks so much!  So OTMA and David met a number of times as children/young people, in Denmark?

Sarushka, yes, please post them! I hadn't seen the second one before (or at least not as large).

Grandduchessella -- are you sure that the young boy on the steps is David of York?  He was only 15 months older than Olga and the boy in the picture looks quite a bit older than that.  Also, I think this picture is taken at the same time as a film that was used in the introduction of the documentary "A Royal Family", about the descendants of Christian IX.  Alot more people were shown in that film but not George or Mary.  Just Queen Alexandra, Victoria of Wales and Maud too.  Could the boy in your picture possibly be one of Prince Waldemar of Denmark's young sons?

As far as I know, yes, it is. I"m pretty sure that's what it said on the page but I scanned it and packed it away awhile ago. I tried enlarging the original scan but the quality isn't great due to the paper it was printed on. Still, it looks like David--the thick hair and fuller face as well as the sailor suit he was often photographed in. Contrary to his slighter build as an adult, he was a sturdy boy. He would've been about 5 1/2 at the time--he was born June 1894 while GDss Marie (who I assume Alexandra is holding?) was born June 1899. His brother, Henry, was born March 1900 (close to this time period) and here's what he looked like then:

that looks like QV... not alexandra

[grandduchessella]

It is--I used it to show what David looked like around the time the other photo I posted was taken. That photo had Queen Alexandra.

Thank you all -- this is great!
