Date, length and hook all OK. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Picture licence fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I don't find this hook hooky. Many royal families marry into each other. The hook says nothing about the subject. Yoninah (talk) 23:06, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
- The C of E, thank you so much for taking the time to complete this review of this hook and article for DYK--it is much appreciated! Yoninah, I will work on crafting a different hook in the meantime per your suggestion. Please let me know if you have any ideas for a suggested hook. -- West Virginian (talk) 15:14, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

... that Olga FitzGeorge (pictured center) received two gold bangles with diamond pendants as a gift from Prince Victor Duleep Singh on the occasion of her marriage to Archibald Hamilton in 1897?"In Saint Peter's Church, Eaton-square..."

- Hi West Virginian, I read the article and I'm wondering, why is she notable? The entire article reads like a society column – who are her forebears, who she's related to, who she married. The lead should be shortened and focus on her notability. Yoninah (talk) 21:16, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Yoninah, and thank you again for your further review and for your additional comments and guidance. I have made some additional changes, per your guidance, to the lede of the article. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions in the meantime. -- West Virginian (talk) 05:29, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
