Natalie Paley

Pictures from the life of Princess Natalie Paley with the song "Le Manége" by Stanislas.

Princess Natalia Pavlovna Paley (Наталья Павловна Палей) (December 5, 1905 December 27, 1981) was a French-born fashion icon, socialite, and film actress who was a first cousin of the last Russian emperor, Nicholas II.

Best known as Natalie Paley, she was born Countess Natalia Pavlovna von Hohenfelsen in Paris, France. Her father was Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich, and her mother was his morganatic wife, Olga Karnovich, who had been granted a Bavarian title, Countess von Hohenfelsen. Her mother was later created Her Serene Highness Princess Paley by her brother-in-law, Nicholas II, and the children of the marriage took the name Paley. She had two half-siblings from her father's previous marriage to Alexandra of Greece: Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich of Russia, who was one of the murderers of Rasputin and Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, who married Prince Wilhelm of Sweden at age sixteen.

What a beautiful song. Am I the only one who thinks Natalie Paley and Kirsten Dunst resemble one another?

Actually I think she has a lot of Grace Kelly, especially in profile pictures, but maybe that's just me... :-D

Yes, lovely featured -- but utterly weird, ill-formed and oddly placed penciled eyebrows; otherwise, this woman had a beauty about her ... despite a sunken bridge ..... etc.

Great video and song. I recommend Alexandre Vassiliev's book " Beauty in Exile " ...

[deritpeehs]

that father grigori/rasputin character is not Godful but a black magic sorceror. YUCK. probably did not actually die but flits about the planet and causes aditional trouble and disruption. when he is he actually leaving for good? should have happened by now. too many similar morons catering to his brand of "fun" and "miracles"....
