According to those pictures the Princess Alexandra who was the Grand Duchess before dying in childbirth is interred in Russia, not Tatoi.
 
She was buried in St. Petersburg, but in 1939, King George II requested that her body be transferred to Greece. The Russian communist government accepted the transfer . Her body was reburied in the Tatoi cemetery.Her tomb is next to her parents' tomb, it is in line with the tombs of her parents.
