My thoughts exactly

Her sister, queen Alexandra of UK, did the same photo with her child.

Unfortunately, that kid is the last Tsar

1000frolly PhD it’s 1am, I’m lost on youtube and born November the 26th i didn’t know that thank you !

She was married to Alexander III

Sad!!

Her husband was ALEXANDER the Third not ALEXANDER the Second who was her father-in-law who died in 1882? from a bomb thrown at him by revolutionaries.

Also, Nicholas's children weren't her only grandchildren. Her son Mikhail had a son, her daughter Xenia had 7 children and another daughter Olga had 2 sons. They all survived the revolution.

Maria Feodorovna still has great grandchildren and great great grandchildren or more living today through her two daughters Olga and Xenia who survived the war and revolution and lived outside of Russia. Both daughters passed away in the same year in 1960.

Incest.

hemophilia is not splendid genes, but they were physically attractive in many ways. The children were beautiful.

@@jcsgodmotherEmpress Maria Feodorovna's children didn't have haemophilia. That came from Queen Victoria's genes. Maria's daughter in law (Empress Alexandra) who was Queen Victoria's grand daughter brought the diesease into the family.

@@Spinnradler The Romanov’s are not actually that inbred when compared to some of the other royal families. By the time they began marrying foreign princesses with history of incest in their families, the other monarchies of Europe had been inbreeding for over a thousand years. The Russian royals also tried to marry the healthiest and prettiest princesses/aristocrats they could find as opposed to marrying for political alliances. For example, the previous Russian royal dynasty (the Ruriks) had a tradition of selecting the most beautiful and the healthiest Russian aristocrats to become their wives. As a result, they had fairly good genes for hundreds of years. The Romanovs, who also have Rurik blood, similarly married beautiful and healthy women for most of their time in power, usually minor German princesses. Even though these princesses did bring some incestuous blood, it was nothing compared to the marriages made by other European royals who married their first and second cousins.... Out of all the royal brides who married Romanov tsars, I think (I’m not sure) the most inbred would probably be Alexandra Feodorovna, the last Empress of Russia who was descended from Queen Victoria.

Even your relatives

I read somewhere that queen ellizabeth invited her cousin alexandra to go back to britain during the war but she refused, maybe because they cant bring any of their wealth and ashane to be a burden to their relatives, just like princess Alice of Greece they were in exile in Paris but they were ashame living from the graces of their relatives, you can watch the story entitled the unbelievable story of princess Alice of Greece, Princess Alice the mom of Prince Philip husband of Queen Elizabeth of England

@@evelynstreegan6081 i think you are getting confused between the various generations. At the time of these events, Queen Elizabeth II wasn't even born. Empress Alexandra & her family were murdered in 1918. Queen Elizabeth ii was born in 1926. At this time (1918), King George V (grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II) was the king of Great Britain. He was a 1st cousin of both the Emperor Nicholas II (through his mother) and the Empress Alexandra (through his father). Empress Alexandra was a grand daughter of Queen Victoria. She was also the aunt of Princess Alice Mountbatten (mother of Prince Philip), who was also a great grand daughter of Queen Victoria. Coming to the question of rescue, King George V had initially offered the Romanovs exile but later changed his mind (because of public opinion). I always keep wondering what Queen Victoria would have done. Surely she wouldn't abandon her own grand daughter like that. Coming to the question of wealth, The former imperial family had already lost their wealth and were imprisoned under relatively bad circumstances with NO property of their own. So there was no question of losing any wealth. While i cannot speak of Princess Alice, both the Emperor & Empress kept hoping to the last day that their cousin would save them. Sadly that did not happen and they along with their children were murdered.

Funny Sarcastic Guy Queen Victoria was against this marriage so probably would have left them in Russia.

@@joseeduardotschen9186 lmao you are either dumb or clearly not aware of history. Queen Victoria was against the marriage only till it was officially decided. Once all parties approved she came on board as well. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna maintained excellent relations with her grandmother to the very end. Edit : Also the only reason she was against the marriage was because she was afraid of the country's political climate. Otherwise she had excellent relations with Russia. 1) Queen Victoria's maternal aunt (princess Juliane of Saxe coburg) was married to a Russian Grand duke. 2) One of Queen Victoria's god fathers was Tsar Alexander I. 3.) The first Empress Alexandra Feodorovna (Tsar Nicholas I's wife ) was Queen Victoria's 2nd cousin. 4.) Queen Victoria was almost married off to Tsar Alexander II. 5.) Queen Victoria's son Prince Alfred was married to a daughter of the Tsar Alexander II. Queen Marie,Queen of Romania was their common grand daughter. 6.) Victoria's oldest daughter in law was a sister of Empress Maria Feodorovna. 7.) Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich was married to another of Queen Victoria's grand daughters. So yea Queen Victoria definitely did NOT have bad relations with the Russian Tsars and would have absolutely saved them. Cuz she wasn't a kinslayer.

It’s a pity that the Empresa Alexandra didn’t followed her footsteps. Was not committed to their Royal Duties. And we know what that caused.

Empress Marie was a strong woman when it came to character. She had charm, toughness, and she was very level headed.

In fact, Alexander III was repulsed by the idea of taking a mistress. His heart belonged to Dagmar and Dagmar alone. He may had other affairs before his marriage, but Dagmar was the one he actually loved.

Ady 's but Dugmar returned to Denmark with her stuff and diamonds, crowns ( everything got lost after she died and end up in London auction ) and live a long life in a palace specifically built for her. She was a Dutch princess Dugmar with an adopted Greek Orthodox name.

She lost two sons, a daughter-in-law, grandson, four granddaughters and many extended in-laws because of the revolution. It shattered her.

@@ludastout2852 Because diamonds are the most important thing in the world. Right ? I mean who cares about murdered children and grandchildren.

Funny Sarcastic Guy well you can always have more children, but once your diamonds are gone, they are gone.

@@davidboult4143 Ahnnnn... sure.............One Major problem though. Dagmar was already in her 70s and well past her childbearing age for sure. So how would she "replace" her dead children ???

Andrew Brendan They were Dutch and German heritages, and were imposters installed by Vat!can and Westerners to control and rob faraway territories of Rossian Empire for centuries. They were usurpators.They were living in outstanding luxury but at the same time poor people were doomed to live in poverty, slavery. Men cannot be free unless they spent 25 years in army fighting for their wealth. No one is crying about millions poorer's lives lost.

@@ludastout2852 commie

I think those gowns survived because they were worn on state occasions. Or maybe it's because you can't take much with you when you're running for your life.

He should’ve-utter and complete bull.

Was it he who rescued his aunt? Or the Danish govt? I need to read more on this, I think.

@@panchang810 I think the Tzar's children were sick and could not travel early on and then it was too late. In retrospect they should have traveled even though sick.

@@jcsgodmother Or perhaps they didn't want to leave their parents. Their very close relationship to their parents and vice versa was very known. 😥

@@panchang810 The parents would have travelled with the children. But the children were sick so the delayed. Then it was too late and they were imprisoned and killed.

It's said that Minny went to her grave never really believing Nicholas and his entire family were dead.

@@zzzbbbooo yes, but perhaps deep down, she knew that they all died. She was just too heartbroken to admit the truth, so she clung into the coping mechanism that her family never died. The pain…😔

Silly.

Nemusel byt popraveny keby mu jeho anglicky bratanec pomohol. Pred tym nez ho zabili prave on daval strielat do obycajnych svojich poddanych zien a deti. Skoncil presne tak ako vladol.

Qualities that her daughter in law, Empress Alexandra totally lacked.

Well her sister was deaf.

@@joseeduardotschen9186 despite being great parents to their children, there is no denying that both Nicholas & Alexandra were terrible leaders. The Russian Empire would have been in good hands if Marie would still be the ruler overall.

I cannot believe what I'm reading here. Of course was it a crime that the tsar and his family was murdered. But please, stop worshipping royalty! They are in no way better then those who murdered them! Hundreds and thousands of peasants had to suffer under the reign of the tsars! The most Russians lived a poor live, and no, not (only) in communism era, also before under the tsars! When the tsars discovered gold in Siberia, they needed much workers to dig it. So what did they do? They sent each criminal to Siberia to do forced labor, no matter if it was a murderer or a starving child which only stole an apple! So stop worshiping them! Royals are criminals!

@@Spinnradler the kids weren"t

Merri Cat So clasist, did you know? not only rich or royals are humans, other poor russian kids weren't criminals neither and many died of cold or hungry by bad desicions under the reing of the tsars, you can't se the unfair because there are no pictures of that poor children wearing fine and expensive clothes like the children of the Tsar, all people matter

Stalin was no bargain either. He murdered over 3 million Russians through his "purges" of all classes. Men, women, and children.

@@Spinnradler Communism killed more people in Russia in a few decades than tsarist regime in a few centuries. There is no political system that is ideal, but Tsarist Russia was on its way to become the world's greatest power, with its economic and demographic growth and its cultural development, it was a very dangerous rival for USA and before all UK , that's why they were behind those revolutions, not the people. They also had a lot of problems with poverty, race problems,colonialism, so, why they didn't meet the same fate as Russia? Because it was orchestrated by them.

Her sister Queen Alexandra of UK was very like her in appearance and a lovely woman too by all accounts

George Alderson were the sisters Queen Alexandra and Empress Marie (Dagmar) close & friendly?

@@REALcatmom Yes, they were! They visited each other often during their times in England and Russia.

@@georgealderson4424 apparently that similarity in appearance was passed down to their sons . Tsar Nicholas II and King George V looked so much a like .

Well, if you don't have to do any kind of physical work and have lots of time to take care of your health and your looks, you'll stay beauty. A farmer's wife who had to work frown dawn till sunset has no time for such things and she is even despised for that. I can't understand people like you who actually worship royals. They've only become royals because their forefathers surpressed the other people around! They are criminals and got what they deserved.

@Ivanouchka. You seem to be full of hate. Pardon me if I am wrong, but do you have a personal connection with this period of Russian history? VJD

@@Spinnradler Envy.

@Sun Day 😞

@@Spinnradler What is so good about the Communist way? Please help us understand how communism is just so great?

james george it was political survival. Monarchy was in trouble in Britain. Democracy was growing. Sliced and family were autocrats, unpopular with the British people and could increase anti-monarchist strength. George was not confident enough in his own position to take the risk.

bla-bla-bla what good did the British monarchy do? The empire that most attacked other countries. which created and built the first concentration camps. Country that still owns: - Gibraltar (Spain) - Falkland Islands (Argentina) and so on British Empire and their monarchy were good only in words, but not when it is necessary to do good useful things, make a sacrifice for the boon of others

I think you need up on the history of this situation. The king wanted to help his cousin, but with all the anti sentiment for eourpe, it was his country & mediate family to concider. I belive that's around the time they changed their name to Saco-courbge-goth (something like that), to Windsor . We all think they have it so easy, they might have money, but the rules they have to live bye, they are more cadged than anyone. It's not all party's & tiara's. Just because it looks one way dosent mean it is.

james george I agree, The English have much to answer for esp that corpulent old lecher Edward V11. He was reckoned to be a good king, but by what standard I wonder. I grieve at the thought of that lovely family being murdered in cold blood. I have read on good authority that this was only the beginning of revenge by jews on Russia's Christian people. Millions were murdered. It is a known fact that the governors of the gulags were all jews. I was truly appalled.

Lady Satine From Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor.

So their behaviour justifies George's action. Is that what you are saying ?

It was George's private secretary who made the decision.

Oh Forgive me, i did not know that a private secretary can command a king.

Funny Sarcastic Guy then you know very little about Britain.

@@davidboult4143 If letting your own family die in cold blood is very common in Great Britain, then i am glad i don't know it very well.

The poor grandson had hemophilia. When the blood bleeds internally, it can destroy tissue and sometimes the limbs can be temporarily bent out of shape. So he wasn't a cripple. He wore braces because of what this awful disease did to him.

Austria Hungary was a German puppet. i.e., After conceding to all of Austria-Hungary's demands save one targeting Serbia (a Russian protectorate) the Kaiser's Germany declared war on Russia.

@@cathyborrege5373 Actually, Austria-Hungary declared war after they provoked a skirmish on the Serbian border. The emperor, Franz-Josef, was tricked into declaring war by his generals, who claimed Serbia had attacked first. That was what set off the chain reaction of war declarations.

They should never been listening to Rasmussen. He was nothing but a disgusting conman. The tsarina brought that thing into their home. It was like she was obsessed with him

@@merricat3025 You didn't read well what I wrote. He gave them some solid advice which they did not heed. The mere idea of him (Rasputin) being vile or unsavoury was not the subject in question. Who the hell is Rasmussen?

@@brucemarsico6 lol. The guy who out in my furnace

nonsense it wasn't about like you had to marry politically it was about strategy absurd how are ye qualified to speak about these royals?

Carol actually unofficially proposed to Maria. Nicholas laughed off the proposal as he said she was just a school girl. She too could of been saved. It was Alexandra that wanted Olga to be married off as the two clashed even though they loved each other. Nicholas didn't want his girls to leave him and they didn't want to leave him. There were many times the girls could have left or been saved.

@@jamiemohan2049 yep, some of them could have been saved. But I guess fate was against it.

They did not resent eachother, Dagmar/Minnie grieved her sister very much after she died in 1925.

@@mariafyodorovna8362 I've heard the two of them did not get on too well at Hvidore, the home they bought together in Denmark.

She refused to believe that her family was executed, and kept that stance for the rest of her life.

But Maria was the last Russian Empress/Tsarina to be alive.

And she was very unsymphatetic to her eldest daughter Ksenia Alexandrovna.She otherwise loved her sons

private private She quite frankly didn't like a lot of people who didn't meet her expectations. If she felt you were a failure she didn't try to hide it.

+Sunny Day I know I shouldn't have laughed at that comment, but it's so true she gave both women such a hard time.

Can't say I blame her for not liking her daughter in law. She was a total disaster and a fool of a queen if ever there was one.

rubbish she was a true woman of strength a proper queen princess more so than i can ever imagine or be

All her sons in fact, one died in infancy, two executed, one died in a quite young age due to ill.

She was Danish you moron!

The offer was withdrawn.

Yes(

She lived until 1928!

Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated November 9, 1918 and had little control of matters in Germany and in particular regarding the war prior to that time. Thus, I do not think your comments are historically accurate.

Frances Van Siclen, What gives any government the right to rule over people, the same right they had.

It was the Commies that starved the Russian people.

Flo Florence Communists starved people to get rid of unwanted ethnicities, it was a strategy. But under tsar also millions starved when they lived in wealth.

Gabriella starving is starving no matter what the reason! Russia went from starving under an autocracy to starving under communism!
