Haha. I checked other pics of the famous arrival and we can see that neither Helena of Greece nor Olga are wearing furcoats.

So I think Princess Mary is the right answer :wink:

Has to be. Princess Mary was fairly tall, like her successor Princess Anne. I believe she was taller than Queen Mary.

(Nice search on British Pathé!)

As a matter of fact, I just went to Marina's thread here in Dinastías >:)

This topic seems to have motored into a detour on Marina, so here is her fur coat.

And the Duke and Duchess dressed for a coronation.

The Duke seems to have a (serious) problem with his legs :shock:

Oh, no.. Nellie, it was only a detour, we love to do that, haha. But the subject of the thread is still very interesting. Do you know that Prince Rainier had a fantastic vintage cars collection in his palace...?

I'm sorry for the stamp size of the pic.

Princess Anne (who eats raw babies for breakfast) is seen here driving to work with her car, equipped to remove others from the motorway if they become a nuisance to her. >:)

:shock: One wonders what she eats for lunch? ...that was awesome, Octavius!

Grand Duke Ernst-Ludwig of Hesse and by the Rhine, "Ernie". The explanation in a forum was that it was an Opel. I haven't the foggiest about cars, so I'll trust them that it is.

Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, one of Rasputin's assassins, amongst other unimportant things. I date this photograph to about 1915, when Grand Duke Konstantin Konstatinovich died, which could account for the mourning armband on "Dimka's" sleeve.

Crikey. The Prince of Monaco in an electric model by Venturi...

I've seen snazzier interiors in a Yugo.

The Duke of Brabant, Philippe, inside a car in a motorshow.

I found this rather fun photo of George, Duke of Kent in Yugoslavia with Princess Elizabeth (mother of Catherine Oxenberg) inside a toy car.

The thing is, the label said it was "Kral Filip i Elizaveta', which would mean we're staring at KING PHILIP. Who?! What I think happened was, they confused him with the Duke of Edinburgh, and on top of that, made him out to be a King.

And thank God Georgie has his varicose veins covered...

It is indeed a 1914 model, the Opel 40. Military versions were also produced for WWI.

My God, all that, and he's expert on cars too. Octavius, you're the perfect man! Marry me! >:D<

Prince Louis Ferdinand's motorcar and chauffeur outside his home in Burg Hohenzollern. I'm not sure, 'Tavius, but I think it may be a Mercedes. 8)
