adorable

What a beautiful girl.

I'm not sure who this is. The first Kingdom of Yugoslavia wasn't established until 1918, and wasn't called that until 1929, so it's hard to know why it would have had a Princess in 1910. My best guess is that she might be Maria of Romania, sometimes called Queen Maria of Yugoslavia. She was born in 1900 so would be about the right age. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Maria_of_Yugoslavia

If so, then she's the same person as www.flickr.com/photos/george_eastman_house/2678370364/ I could believe that. And as the girl in www.tkinter.smig.net/QueenMarie/Gallery/Marie&Mignon4... Again, not a sure thing, but believable. www.tkinter.smig.net/QueenMarie/Gallery/Mignon.htm begins to make me certain. She was known as MIgnon to distinguish her from her mother, also Maria. Some of the other pictures at www.tkinter.smig.net/QueenMarie/Gallery/index.htm are lovely too.

That's got to be her.

Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia, known as "Maria Pavlovna the Younger" (In Russian Великая Княгиня Мария Павловна) (April 6/April 18, 1890 - December 13, 1958) was the daughter of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia and Alexandra Georgievna of Greece. She was usually called "Marie," the French version of her name. Her paternal grandparents were Alexander II of Russia and Empress Maria Alexandrovna. Her maternal grandparents were George I of Greece and Grand Duchess Olga Konstantinovna of Russia, his queen consort. In 1905 Marie was engaged to Prince Wilhelm, Duke of Södermanland (June 17, 1884 - June 5, 1965), the second son of King Gustav V of Sweden the photo is dated 1912

Thanks! We'll fix the date in the source data and reload the description.
