June 1958, my mother with my twin brother and me a

June 1958, my mother with my twin brother and me a few days after our birth when she got an unexpected visit from Princess George of Greece. Known as Aunt Mimi in the family, she was born Princess Marie Bonaparte on July 2nd 1882. Her maternal grandfather Mr Blanc had built the Monte Carlo casino and was the principal real estate developer in the principality. Her mother having died shortly after her birth left her a colossal fortune making her one of the richest princesses of Europe. She married my great grandfather 's brother known as uncle Goggy. Intellectual, independent, eccentric, afflicted by phobias and a hypochondriac she left for Vienna to study with Freud and became his right hand writing numerous books on sexuality and orgasm and becoming a pioneer and a leading authority in her field at the time. She visited prisoners to study the causes of violence. Thanks to her fortune she was able to look after her impoverished Greek relatives during the exile and chartered a plane to smuggle Freud out of Vienna to London when the Nazis wanted to arrest him! She modeled for the famous sculptor Brancusi and his sculpture of her created a scandal in 1919 when he represented her as a huge gleaming bronze phallus that symbolized her lifelong quest to achieve vaginal orgasm since she was frigid and Freud was treating her for that and she openly spoke about it! My mother told me that when my twin and I were born she came to the clinic, stormed in the room, immediately instructed the nurse " unpack all that" examined our little bodies "down there", with a big smile exclaimed "perfect! Perfect " and stormed right out to the howls of laughter of everyone in the room! She and uncle Goggy went to the Queen's coronation in London. She was seated next to a young man and since she was bored asked him if he would like her to psychoanalyze him! He accepted and the whole time they chatted. The young man was Francois Mitterrand! #mindthegap #historic #historical #royalty #nostalgia #civilization #ilovetraveling #jj_blackwhite #bnw_mood #top_bnw #world_bnw #bnw_globe #princedimitri #instaeurope #glam #instadaily

The legendary Sissi, Empress Elizabeth of Austria,

The legendary Sissi, Empress Elizabeth of Austria, Queen of Hungary, the greatest beauty of her time. Born Duchess in Bavaria, she was the sister of my great great grand father Duke Carl Theodore in Bavaria. A great horseback rider she taught her niece my great grandmother Queen Elisabeth of Belgium how to ride. Her hair was so long as you can see in the marvelous portrait of her by Winterhalter (2nd photo) that when she was staying with her, my great grandmother would play “hide and seek” with her siblings and hide under the stool where Sissi was sitting and her hair would reach down to the floor hiding her completely. She told me that story when I visited her in 1965 (3rd photo) The 1889 death of her only son Rudolph and his mistress was a shock from which she never recovered. She withdrew from court duties and traveled widely across Europe. She was assassinated in 1898 in Geneva by an Italian anarchist who stabbed her to death as she was embarking on the boat that crosses the lake still today. At first she didn't feel anything because her corset was so tight as was the fashion. After walking a little bit she started feeling faint. Her lady In waiting undid her corset to allow her to breathe but instead it released the pressure and all the blood started pouring out and she died! She was 60...

Rare photo because of its size and impeccable stat

Rare photo because of its size and impeccable state of conservation of Queen Louise of Denmark. Born Princess Louise of Hesse Kassel, she was married at the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen on 26 May 1842 to her second cousin Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg. He was soon selected as hereditary prince of Denmark and later ascended the throne of Denmark as King Christian IX. She was the mother of Empress Marie of Russia, Queen Alexandra of England, King Frederick VIII of Denmark, King George I of Greece (my grandmother’s grandfather), Princess Thyra of Hanover and Prince Valdemar of Denmark. She and Queen Victoria were affectionately known as "the grandmothers of Europe" and through both of them most royal families of Europe are related. #www.princedimitri #jewels #ancestry #danishroyalfamily #romanoff #royalty #photooftheday #nostalgia #instaphotography #instastory

June 11th 1903 my grandmother Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark was born. She was 10 years old when her grandfather was assassinated and 15 years old when her Romanoff relatives were massacred by the Bolsheviks and the first Greek revolution happened. She went through two more revolutions and the two world wars.To me she was my darling Amama whom I adored, always kind, always protective, always available. All her life she wrote me the most kind letters, invariably ending by “God bless you and protect you always my darling Fatty, your devoted Amama” Today all of us grand children think of her with love and nostalgia. #princessolga #europeanroyalty #love #grandmother #instaphoto #beauty
