Parallels: 1913 vs 2021
After watching the documentary “My years with The Queen” with Pamela Hicks (previously Mountbatten) and her daughter India, i noticed that on a wall (with LOTS of pictures on it) that there was a picture of Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana. The photo was of their official portrait sessions in 1913 for Olga and Tatiana’s official coming out. Olga an Tatiana were first cousins of Pamela’s father Lord Louis Mountbatten (aka Dickie) and they were very close.
I also noticed this photo of Olga and Tatiana’s mother Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. She would’ve been Pamela’s great aunt if she got the chance to live.
*I got the photo of Alexandra from @romanovsonelastdance *

How a Princess became Queen
The day the Princess of Wales became Queen Elizabeth II
by British Heritage Travel, March 31, 2023
As the longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has died we now look back on the incredible history and when she was bestowed the mantle of Queen.
When King George VI died in 1952, the then [Princess Elizabeth] and her husband were the last to find out as they were in Kenya at the time. Speaking recently Philip's cousin Pamela Hicks, daughter of the late Lord Mountbatten, who was also in Kenya working as a lady-in-waiting, has revealed that Philip was told first and then shared the news with his wife.
Speaking on her daughter India Hicks' podcast in 2018, Lady Pamela recalled how the Queen had been staying at the remote Treetops guest lodge in Kenya, which was accessed via a ladder.
She said: "She goes up as a princess. The King dies that night. She comes down the ladder as Queen. We were the last people in the world to hear."
A message had been sent by the British embassy but as it had been written in code it wasn't passed on. Instead, the Queen's private secretary, Martin Charteris, was in a nearby town when a reporter accosted him and asked about the news.
Charteris returned to the lodge and subtly climbed the ladder trying to get Philip's attention while not disturbing the Queen.
Lady Pamela said: "Prince Philip is sitting, reading a newspaper, while the princess is in another part of room, at the desk, writing to her father.
"[Martin] crawls in as he doesn't want the princess to look up and see him so he's crawling out of her sightline and gesturing to get hold of the radio.
"He secretly turns it very, very low and hears all the stations (playing) the same dirge-like music, being very solemn, so it's obviously true."
Mr. Parker secretly got the Duke to listen to the radio to hear the news for himself.
Lady Pamela continued: ”Philip just takes the newspaper and covers his face with it, hides behind it and says: 'This will be such a shock!’”
She said the Duke convinced his wife to go for a walk in the garden, where he told her of her father's death and that she was now Queen.
Lady Pamela added: "As she comes into the room. I think 'Oh, poor girl, her father's died'.
“So I go over to her, give her a hug and think 'Oh my God, it's the Queen’, so I go into a deep curtsey.
"And she says 'I'm so sorry. It means we've all got to go back’. She was only thinking of all of us."
The podcast also said Lady Hicks reveal that when the royal party returned to London a black dress had to be smuggled onto the plane so the Queen could change before disembarking as she hadn't thought to bring one. An oversight that changed how the monarchy travel, as they now all bring a black mourning outfit.

Daughter of Empire: My Life as a Mountbatten by Lady Pamela Hicks #RoyalFamily #BookReview
The #AudiblePlus catalog had several books on the #royalfamily included with membership, so I am making my way through them. #DaughterofEmpire #MyLifeasaMountbatten is about #PrincePhilip's cousin, #LadyPAmelaHicks #LouisMountbatten #memoir #audiobook
Few families can boast of not one but two saints among their ancestors, a great-aunt who was the last tsarina of Russia, a father who was Grace Kelly’s pinup, and a grandmother who was not only a princess but could also argue the finer points of naval law. Pamela Mountbatten entered a remarkable family when she was born at the very end of the Roaring Twenties.

Celebrating Black Queer Icons:
Lucy Hicks Anderson
Lucy Hicks Anderson was born in 1886 in Waddy, Kentucky. Anderson is known as a socialite and chef that became well known in Oxnard, California from 1920 to 1946. She became the first black trans woman to defend her identity in a US courts. From an early age Anderson identified as a girl. On advice from doctors, Anderson's parents accepted and supported this. Anderson would attend school in gender affirming clothing, such as dresses, under a name of her own choosing, Lucy. At the age of 15 Anderson left school and began supporting herself through domestic work. At 20 Anderson moved to Pecos, Texas where she worked in a hotel. Anderson next moved to New Mexico, where she met her first husband, Clarence Hicks, in 1920. At age 34 Anderson, and her then husband, moved to Oxnard, California. Anderson proved herself a skilled chef and baker, winning some contests. Anderson's marriage to Hicks eventually ended in divorce. After which Anderson used money she had saved during the marriage to purchase a boarding house. The boarding house served as a front for a brothel, and the sale of alcohol during prohibition. Outside her time as a Madame and managing a boarding house, Anderson also became a well known socialite and hostess. Connections made during this time would prove fruitful during Anderson's subsequent legal troubles. It is said that Charles Donlon, a prominent banker, helped get her out of jail, after her initial arrest, on the grounds that he was hosting a significant dinner party that would have fallen apart without Anderson's involvement. In 1944 Anderson married her second husband, Reuben Anderson. About a year later, in 1945, a sailor claimed to have received a sexually transmitted infection from one of the women working in Anderson's brothel. This led to all women working there being subject to medical examination, including Anderson. When the Ventura County DA was informed that Anderson was assigned male at birth he chose to charge her with perjury on her marriage license. During this trial Anderson would utter the famous lines "I defy any doctor in the world to prove that I am not a woman." and "I have lived, dressed, acted just what I am, a woman". Anderson was ultimately convicted of perjury and sentenced to 10 years probation and her marriage license was deemed invalid. This also led to the Federal Government to charge Anderson with fraud, based on her receiving spousal rights from the GI Bill. Lucy and Reuben Anderson where both found guilty and sentenced to a men's prison. Anderson was forbidden by the court to wear women's clothing during this time. After their release Lucy and Reuben Anderson moved to Los Angeles, California where they lived quietly until her death in 1954, at the age of 68. Debra A Harley and Pamela B Teaster's (editors) Handbook of LGBT Elders (link to Archive.org copy of text) notes Anderson as "one of the earliest documented cases of an African-American transgender person". Anderson is the subject of the 2nd episode of HBO's Equal, where she is portrayed by actress Alexandra Grey.
This was definitely one of the more informative of these write ups, for me. I was familiar with both the quotes Anderson made during her trial, but didnt know anything about the woman. Wilmer "Little Axe" Broadnax has been mentioned in several of these end notes, so he is definitely next. I think i pretty much have the rest of these planned out, but as always, corrections and suggestions are welcome and desired.

If you watched the BBC coverage you might have been a bit surprised, like me, that India Hicks was interviewed just shortly before the balcony appearance. She was part of the fashion commentary on the royal women's clothes today.
India Hicks is the daughter of Pamela Hicks, Charles' cousin, Lord Mountbattens daughter. Lady Pamela was snubbed for the coronation, allegedly because Camilla doesn't quite like her. Both lady Pamela and India have taken this quite sportingly but ... But ...
India was asked what she thought of Catherine and Charlotte wearing the fancy flower headbands. Instead of commenting on that she straight up mentioned that she was one of Diana's bridesmaids. And rode with her in the carriage. And she mentioned Diana's wedding dress and how big the train was that when she got into the carriage, the same carriage, her train took up all the room.
Lol ... I have to hand it to India , she mentioned the one who shall not be named. And it kinda hinted at what may be Cam's insecurities regarding Charles' usual aristo friend circle that was famously snubbed for this event today.
LOL I happened to catch that in real time too and had the same reaction as you
