ROMANOV GRAND DUCHESSES WITH THEIR HESSIAN AUNT. CRIMEA.

Grand Duchess Olga and Grand Duchess Tatiana with (most likely) their aunt by marriage, Eleanor of Hesse, the sconed wife of their uncle Ernie, brother of Empress Alexandra.
Grand Duchess Olga and Grand Duchess Tatiana with (most likely) their aunt by marriage, Eleanor of Hesse, the second wife of their uncle Ernie, brother of Empress Alexandra.

However, I believe that this is their Hessian aunt by marriage, Grand Duchess Eleanor, wife of Grand Duke Ernest of Hesse by Rhine – brother of Empress Alexandra.
