♕ Princess Tatiana Kostantinovna of Russia II Wonder
Princess Tatiana Konstantinovna of Russia (Russian: Княжна Татьяна Константиовна; 23 January 1890 – 28 August 1979) was the third child and oldest daughter of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich of Russia and wife, Princess Elisabeth of Saxe-Altenburg.
Princess Tatiana Konstantinovna (not to be confused with her cousin, Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolayevna, second daughter of Nicholas II, 1897–1918), had six brothers and two sisters, one which died at the age of two months.
Her name, Tatiana, was the idea of her grandfather, and was taken from the character Tatiana Larina from Alexander Pushkin's novel Eugene Onegin.
She was close friends with Tsar Nicholas II's two eldest daughters, Olga and Tatiana Nikolaevna, and was mentioned frequently in both their diaries.
As a child she was described as a quiet girl,and was reported to have a talent for the piano, something she got from her father, the Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich.
Tatiana made her first official court appearance on the 11th of August (24th New Style, for the celebration of the christening of her cousin Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich, who was to be christened in the Church at the Palace of Peterhof. It was the first time she appeared in full Russian court dress. Earlier that morning, she left the Palace of Strelna, which was nearby, in a string of carriages, which went along the Finnish Gulf before reaching the Emperor's estate. She was said to be wearing long white gloves with a string of her mother's pearls around her neck, and a satin kokoshnik with a large bow atop her hair.When she was young she enjoyed the company of animals. Once her brother Gavrill gave her a pink cockatoo, which he had been trying to teach to speak, but to no avail. Tatiana was playing with it when the bird suddenly turned on her, cutting her with its beak across her forehead. Although the cut was harmless, the scar remained the rest of her life.When she was nineteen years old, in the spring of 1909, Tatiana put on a play with the rest of her siblings in honor of the 25th anniversary of their parents' wedding. It was titled: The Wedding of Sun and Spring, with Tatiana in the role of Spring. That year she also participated in an activity with her family where they recreated the famous portrait of Emperor Paul I's family.In the spring of 1911, Tatiana Konstantinovna became engaged to Prince Constantine Bagration of Mukhrani (2 March 1889, Tbilisi, - 19 May 1915, Jarosław), a Georgian by birth who was serving in a Russian Imperial Guards regiment, and died in World War I. She was to be the first daughter of the Romanovs to openly marry a Russian subject or non-dynastic prince since the dynasty ascended the throne in 1613. Legally Tatiana Konstantinovna's marriage was morganatic.
Her father did not approve of the match, and initially sent Tatiana away to the Crimea to visit her relative Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna. It was there that KR found his daughter with Konstantin, and gave his blessing.Tatiana and Prince Constantine Bagration of Mukhrani had two children:
* Teymuraz Bagration (1912-1992)
* Natasha Bagration (1914-1984)
Her husband died in War World I and she remarried and got widowed only after there months after the wedding.
Tatiana raised her children alone, giving them the best education she possibly could, and, after both were grown and married, she took the veil, Switzerland 1946, just after the end of the second world war, which was her father's dream.Whenever going to Geneva she stayed at the house of Konstantin Bargration's niece, Tatiana. At first she served at St. Mary Magdalene Convent in Jerusalem, coincidentally where relics of her aunt, Elisabeth Feodorovna were moved. She later served as Abbess at the Mount of Olives Convent in Jerusalem, and died as Mother Tamara (named so after the medieval Georgian queen Tamar, a remote ancestor of Tatiana's first husband),on 28 August 1979.
