Yes, but Alexandra was born in Germany. Not in Russia.

That's the complicating issue. If Alexandra had remained in the west instead of moving to Russia, she would have continued to celebrate her birthday on 6 June, and the enitre issue of old style equivalency would be irrelevent. So in that sense, it's hard to say her insistance on observing the 6th as her "real" birthdate is mistaken.

The whole thing is confusing beyond all reason, isn't it?

Basically, if you want to observe the technically correct date according to the calendar, use the 7th. If you want to observe the same day Alexandra herself preferred, choose the 6th instead.

Happiest of Birthdays to Our Noble Empress. 



Her Majesty's visit to the seriously injured Ania, 1915

May your tender loving heart be understood, and may your influence for good continue to grow.

May honor and dignity be restored both to you and your precious family.

I think the honour and dignity are coming.  I'm noticing a marked difference in "tone" towards (mainly) her between books written in the 60s to 80s, and books written in the late 90s.

Better late than never?

I think you are right historyfan and that a change has begun and is coming.
