Trivia du Jour
The Duchess of York Sarah and Prince Andrew named their younger daughter Eugénie (Princess Eugenie of York). A century or so earlier, Napoleon III of France married Eugénie de Montijo which became the last Empress of France. The painting below is from 1857 – doesn’t she looks like Scarlett O’ Hara a bit? Must be the capeline.
