Do you know anything about this tiara which Princess Olga wore when she married Prince Paul of Yugoslavia?

Sort of, the picture is from a 1925 photo shoot of Princess Olga wearing court dress not from her wedding which was two years prior and it’s the only occasion I’ve found of her wearing it. This tiara has bugged me for quite a while but I’ve never found a clear answer for it.

The closest tiara is one ordered by Philip Sassoon from Cartier in 1914 but they are not exactly the same. Olga’s has pearls along the top and scattered throughout the tiara. The Sassoon tiara still exists and is sometimes loaned to exhibitions but as far as I know does not belong to the Sassoon family anymore. I considered that they are the same tiara with the pearls removed but there doesn’t seem to be any marks on the tiara showing where the pearls used to be and the vine goes closer to the bottom of the tiara on the Sassoon one.

Henri Picq made at least five blackened steel tiaras for Cartier in 1913 and 1914. Only three of them are known so my best guess is that Princess Olga’s tiara is one of the others.

So there's a movie called The Princess, and it's literally 90 minutes of a princess being clever and swordfighting her way out of a tower to escape an arranged marriage, and it's got Olga Kurylenko in it being evil with a whip, and it's on Hulu, and NO ONE TOLD ME...?

Romanov Rare Footage Analysis:

This footage was taken while the Romanov family was visiting Romania in 1914. In the foreground we see Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna bouncing up and down in a silly way. One might wonder why she is doing this. To find out we have to analyze this piece of rare footage.

Anastasia seems to be talking to someone in a white dress and a hat on. That person is who i believe to be Princess Marie “Mignon” of Romania (later Queen of Serbia). In the background of this footage we also see Queen Elisabeth of Romania (far right with baby Prince Mircea of Romania being held by someone), Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, and Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna (talking with people), and Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna who we see towards the end of the clip holding what looks like a Brownie Box Camera which the Romanov family used to take pictures.

Now what are Anastasia and Mignon doing? My belief is that Mignon went to greet Anastasia by naturally curtsying (which was the correct protocol) and Anastasia also did the same thing at the same time. I think Anastasia was doing several small curtsies afterward to kind of make a joke out of the moment (hence the giddy bouncing we see in the footage). OTMAA always felt embarrassed or shocked when close members of their family, or anyone at all, treated them with their normal official rules that the protocol demanded (aka curtsying or using official titles). Anastasia probably wanted to break the ice in that moment or make a funny joke of the curtsying at the same time thing. Also we can see the two girls having a good laugh so that could also be why Anastasia is bouncing so much. In the end of the footage we see Tatiana come up to the two girls with her camera ready and it looks like she is going to take a picture of them. The following photo could be the one she took but I’m not sure that it is.

Here are some other photos from the day that this footage was taken:

How is Kiev better than Moscow? Do saints live in Kiev? I think that Princess Olga would burn Kiev to the ground if she saw what creatures rule there now!

What is "Kiev"? Is it from some fandom you are in that I've never heard of?

I have been to Moscow once though, many years ago. Difficult place to be in tbh. The capital of russia, a fascist autocratic regime currently waging yet another one of its genocidal wars of imperial conquest. Can't stop doing that for centuries for some reason.

I have no idea why princess Olga (that is, if you mean princess Olga of Kyiv), a medieval ruler known for her incredible cruelty to her enemies, is any kind of a moral authority to you in the 21st century. Or is it something to do with those fandoms of yours?
