EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Princess Olga of Greece in Traditional Bosnian Costume at the All-Slav Ball, Belgrade, 1934" This evocative photograph captures Princess Olga of Greece (later Princess Paul of Yugoslavia) in the elegant and authentic Bosnian peasant costume she wore at the annual All-Slav Ball held in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in 1934. Born as Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark, she was the eldest daughter of Prince Nicholas of Greece and Grand Duchess Helen Vladimirovna of Russia. Her younger sister, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, is also depicted in various royal portraits. Princess Olga's connection to the Balkans was through her father, who was the son of the last reigning Serbian prince, Prince Mihailo Obrenović IV. This heritage, along with her marriage to Prince Paul of Yugoslavia in 1934, made her a significant figure in the region's royal circles. The All-Slav Ball was an annual event held to celebrate the rich cultural heritage and diversity of the Slavic peoples. Princess Olga's decision to wear traditional Bosnian attire showcased her deep appreciation for the region's history and traditions. The costume, featuring a long, embroidered skirt, intricate blouse, and a headdress adorned with flowers, perfectly embodies the beauty and grace of the Bosnian peasant style. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a royal figure who embraced her heritage and celebrated the rich cultural tapestry of the Balkans. The photograph, taken in 1934, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of traditional costumes and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
