EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph taken at the prestigious Hurlingham Polo Club in 1910, we find Countess Nada Torby (far left) and her younger sister Countess Zia Torby (2nd left) posing with their mother, The Countess Torby, morganatic wife of Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovitch of Russia. The Mikhailovitch family was a prominent Russian royal family, and the countesses' mother's morganatic marriage to Grand Duke Michael meant that her children would not inherit the Russian throne but would instead hold the title of counts and countesses. Countess Nada, later Marchioness of Milford Haven, is dressed in a stylish hat and a long, flowing dress, while her sister Countess Zia, later Lady Zia Wernher, wears a simple yet elegant blouse and a large sun hat. The sisters' youthful beauty and playful expressions add a delightful touch to the photograph, which captures the high society atmosphere of the Hurlingham Polo Club. The Mikhailovitch family was well-known for their involvement in European high society, and this photograph offers a glimpse into their luxurious lifestyle. The sisters' later marriages to British nobility, Marchioness of Milford Haven and Lord Wernher, respectively, further solidified their place in British aristocratic circles. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of European high society in the early 20th century. The sisters' playful poses and their mother's regal presence make for a captivating image that continues to intrigue and delight viewers today.
