Some photos (gettyimages and Flickr)
1)a nice group photo of Nicholas , Andrew , Elena , Alice, OEM infront of their mother and Sophia and Margarita in front of Alice . I must say , Alice's daughters are very blonde! How comes that?Their parents seemed to be darker..
2)A nice photo of Elisabeth in her youth. Princess Elizabeth, who was the sweetest and least-known of the three lovely sisters, was a fearless horsewoman and a talented painter, though she cared more for horses than for art. She was close to both of her more-famous sisters.
When Olga got married to Paul of Υugoslavia in 1921, Elena felt as if it was time to find something for Elisabeth. She thought it would be easy because even though she wasn't as glamorous as her sisters,she had a more " angelic" and sweet look than Olga and Marina and was very kind and gentle. However no one seemed to be interested .Elena tried really hard ( I think she tried to marry her to Prince Nicholas of Roumania but the thing didn't got along). She was trying to fing he a husband for
an decade (talk about being determined!).Well when a decade passed and Elisabeth reached 30, Elena lost her patience and she took her and Marina to a big trip around Europe and
she actually introduced her to every prince available, in order to find a "suitable" husband for her daughter.Thanks God the same year Elizabeth met her future husband and got married . Elena could actually breathe again....
Ps. I don't know why, but this story sound slightly familiar.....
I think the photo i just posted is mislabeled although it said Princess Elisabeth of Greece. I ll try to check it
3)Elena wearing her fringe tiara. She later gave it to Elisabeth, who wore it on her wedding day. Helena countess of Toerring - Jettenbach (Elena 's granddaughter) and Archduchess Sophie of Hampsbourg ( Elena's great granddaughter) also wore it to their wedding.

I ve checked it and I believe it is an elisabeth. But she looks more like archduchess Elisabeth (Rudolph's daughter).......
