With The Duchess of Cambridge (a.k.a Princess Catherine) and her sister Philippa 'Pippa' Middleton making headlines lately, I thought a quiz about royal sisters would be a nice challenge. See if you can identify each pair. You may submit your answers using the comments button or e-mail them to princessesreign@gmail.com.
1. The Queen of England and the Empress of Russia
2. Two discarded queens: One gone mad and One who 'lost' two English husbands
3. Queens of Revolution: One who lost her head and one who led a counter-revolution
4. The pair who introduced Rasputin to the Imperial Family
5. Scandalous sisters: One married a playboy but became an HRH and one ran away with the circus.

Hello Cheryl, thank you for another interesting quiz!
ReplyDelete1. Marie Feodorovna of Russia and Alexandra of Britain – (Dagmar and Alexandra of Denmark)/
2. Catherine of Aragon and her sister, Juana of Castille/Spain.
3. Possibly....Marie Antoinette and Maria Carolina???
4. Militsa and Stana (Anastasia) – the ‘black women’ - the Montenegrin sisters who introduced Alix to Rasputin.
5. Hmmm....this was very taxing!!! My knowledge of royalty tends to fade after 1918 but, for some bizarre reason, I thought of Monaco! Grace Kelly’s daughters...Stephanie and Caroline??? (Am really not sure about this one!)
Thank you!
