mbarresi3: collective-history: King George V (right) and his cousin Tsar Nicholas II in German military uniforms in Berlin before the war. Note the close physical resemblance between the two monarchs. The physical resemblance is uncanny. They could have played some great games with their admiring public “‘Still, they’re cousins, identical cousins, and you’ll find/They walk alike, they talk alike, sometimes they even reign alike…” (Well, not really.)
