Thanks for posting. Is the Beaton photograph of the Duchess of Kent the one in this link?

On the anniversary of her death (yesterday?) I'd like to mention this lovely princess. She had one of the best collection of jewels in the British royal family. Her sister Olga was responsible for the elevation of Cecil Beaton to Royal Photographer status, and he took many gorgeous photos of these gorgeous princesses.
My favrouite piece is probably the bow brooch that Nicholas II gave her mother Helen as a wedding present.
