“Was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life. She was tall and slight, of blonde colouring, with features of extraordinary finesse and purity.

Her eyes, her lips, her smile, her hands, the way she looked at you, the way she talked, the way she moved, all was exquisite beyond words; it almost brought tears to your eyes.” (Queen Marie of Roumania)
