Notes |
- Glyn Gowans calls her 'Lilia' and a lifelong friend from childhood of Princess Marina of Kent and that they holidayed together. After the war, he says, she worked for a Paris fashion house and was known as Figgy because she said 'figure-toi' so often.
- Glyn Gowans says Lilia voluntarily accompanied Prince Paul and Princess Olga to house arrest in Kenya in 1941 after the allegedly SOE-inspired Belgrade coup but was again in Alexandria by 1942 where she again met up with Cecil Beaton (a war photographer).
- A close friend of Cecil Beaton and of the three daughters of Prince & Princess Nicolas (notably Olga). See Neil Balfour\'s biography of Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, Hugo Vicker\'s biography of Cecil Beaton and Sophia Watson\'s biography of Princess Marina.
