Lady Tatiana is a very distant cousin to the queen and would be well known in equestrian circles.

Daughter of George Mountbatten, Marquess of Milford-Haven and his first wife Sarah Walker?

Yes. I believe she is a second cousin once removed to Prince Charles or, equivalently, a third cousin to Princes William and Harry.

I can understand not wanting one for your wedding at the parish church, but it will be interesting if her position changes at all.

Here is India’s original commentary about the tiaras. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFKUmrA...4-9a99ec1da47a

Alexander and Tatiana are even distantly related as both are descendants of John Stewart, Earl of Lennox (1495-1526).

Aw, I missed the video.

But I spotted them at the service yesterday, as well as his sister Alexandra and her husband.

This is good to see. The Daily Mail article mentions a visit to Poland "a couple of months ago" ... is there any more information about that visit?

[Tirilschatz]

She posted about this visit on her Instagrampage and took the followers with her in her stories.

It was also through Global Empowerment Mission and they brought relief supplies to the ukrainian border, as well as they helped in refugee camps.

Yes, and she also was the oldest sister of Alexandra, who was the last empress of Russia, and mother of Louise Mountbatten, the queen of Sweden.
