Maria Feodorovna - Tumblr Posts
Maria Feodorovna is the something rotten in the state of Denmark
Alexandra: Not everyone's a social butterfly, Maria. For some of us, human interaction is... difficult.
Maria: Not calling it human interaction might help...
Alexandra: I hate talking about myself.
Maria: Get over it. I talk about myself constantly. Everyone loves me for it. I really am amazing.
Nicholas: Have you seen my mother recently?
Alexandra: I'm relatively happy. Is that an answer?
Nicholas: Okay, point taken. I wonder what she's doing. Maybe knitting, reading, playing with her dogs...
Alexandra: Planning a coup d'etat...
Nicholas: I know she doesn't like you much, but that's not what she's doing!
Maria: *secretly planning a coup d'etat*
Alexandra and Maria didn't always see eye to eye but they did love each other.
Maria Feodorovna and Alexandra Feodorovna, 1896
“Darling sweet Mother dear,
I cannot tell you how delighted I was when the Feldjäger brought me your dear letter; I never thought you would find time to answer it. So poor dear Georgy has again not been so well, but I am sure it must be a comfort to you to be near him at least. What a misfortune it is, and when he was just feeling better again. God grant he may soon be quite strong and well again, so that you can quietly enjoy your stay at Turbie, and are not constantly worried on his account.
Baby [Olga] is flourishing and kisses her beloved Grandmama. I hope she can go out as soon as it gets a little warmer. Everything reminds me here so much of when she was born, and it is so strange to see her such a big, fat little creature, laughing and cooing away. Whilst we have our breakfast I give her hers. She weighs now a little more than Irina, but is of course not as long. Xenia and Sandro are coming for two nights as he is ‘du jour’ on Sunday; that day there will be a dinner for Ferdinand. Grandmama [Queen Victoria] wrote to me how delighted she has been to see you after so many years.
The goodies you sent are excellent and I thank you for them ever so much! Kiss you very tenderly, I remain, Darling Mother dear, your deeply devoted Child. Alix. God bless you!”
