Note du spécialiste

Princess Anastasia (1868–1935) was born into the Royal family of Montenegro. Through her second marriage to Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich of Russia (1856–1929) in April 1907, she became Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. Anastasia and her sister Princess Milica were close friends of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and introduced Grigori Rasputin to the Imperial family.

De Lacelle was a diplomat and stationed in St Petersburg during the 1900s.
