UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 01: The Grand Duchess VICTORIA-MELITA FEODOROVNA of SAXE-COBOURG doing a crossword puzzle. She is the wife of Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich ROMANOV of Russia, who is the first cousin and closest relative of Czar NICOLAS II. Born Princess of Great Britain, she is divorced when she marries the Russian who declares himself "curator of the throne". NICOLAS II, who disapproves of the marriage, excludes Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich ROMANOV from the succession. However, this will not stop his son Grand Duke Vladimir Kyrillovich ROMANOV from thinking himself inheritor to the throne. (Photo by Keystone-France/Gamma-Keystone via Getty Images)
