I personally new Vera Konstantinovna, and the one thing she hated, was when the press would spell her name with a "C" and not with the "K".
She made that poinnt very valid! In Russian there is no C-K sound, and her father was known to sign his poems as KKP (Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanoff).
But I somehow doubt I can change everyones minds today, and carry out the task of correcting absolutely everyone and everywhere. Shokorus (talk) 13:08, 6 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

The second-to-last sentence in the first Early Life paragraph needs to be revised. It currently reads as follows: "Vera Constantinovna spent her first year in fabulous splendor on the last period of Imperial Russia." Should this say "spent her first years in the fabulous splendor of the last period of..."? Blue5732 (talk) 15:43, 14 June 2011 (UTC)blue5732Reply
