Well got myself interested now, found a boot at Gutenberg on the demise of the royal family. Nothing I didn't read snippets of before but it's very sad reading. |

Wife saw this picture on my tablet gallery and took some time to convince her it was 1 real, 2nd a hundred years old. And conversation turned to why they were dressed in uniform. So options I think are Totally dress up A military ball Anyone stopping by think of anything else? Also have read a few books now on the Russian Revolution and onto another now |

I see that de Ligne got there before me. As "Colonels", they would inspect the troops. The British Trooping of the Colour is similar. Before she got too old for it, the last Queen used to attend in uniform similar to the Grand Duchesses. I expect King Charles will attend in uniform. |
