From the two eldest daughters of Tsar Nicholas II on horseback, to the grand gathering at Windsor Castle, these women exuded regal charm. Even celebrities were captivated by their presence, as seen when actor Michael Crawford visited Barts Hospital alongside the Duchess of York in 1987, and is a testament to their influence that they attracted attention from all walks of life. Traveling further back in time, we find ourselves amidst Russia's imperial family. The captivating image of Tsar Nicholas II and his loved ones reminds us of their tragic fate but also showcases their opulent lifestyle. Art too pays homage to duchesses' stories. The tapestry depicting "The Betrothal and the Marriage" transports us to Tournai or Brussels during the 15th century, where love and union were celebrated through intricate wool and silk craftsmanship. Coronations hold a special place in history, symbolizing power transitions. In 1937, Queen Elizabeth II was anointed by Archbishop during her coronation ceremony - a momentous occasion witnessed by millions worldwide. Monuments stand tall as reminders of remarkable duchesses who left indelible marks on society. The digitally restored reproduction captures Maria Christina's tomb in Vienna—a tribute to her legacy that has withstood centuries.
