The Queen has let it be known that she 'does not want any fuss'
Ольга Александровна и Мария Николаевна в Крыму, 1913 годMy absolute two favorite Romanovs together - Olga A. and Maria N.! Thanks so much Judical Investigator for all the wonderful new photos you have been adding to the forum. They're very much appreciated by all of us.

Крым, 1913 годI just saw this photo for the first time. Without a doubt this is the most gorgeous picture I've seen posted of Maria. She's stunning here.

did she ever do an interviewI devour everything I can find written about OA and the closest I've found to an interview would be Ian Vorres book The Last Grand Duchess. He had quite a close friendship with her in her lasts years/months. She seemed to trust him didn't seem to shy away from answering his questions or talking about sensitive subjects.
Try as I might, I do not see Alix in Maria at all.I agree - usually I don't see any resemblance to Alix in Maria - but there is something about the squint of Maria's eyes in the picture above that resembles a picture I've seen of a mature (maybe about 35-40 yr. old) Alix, I think one taken on the Standart, where their profiles are very similar. By that age Alix's face was more fleshy.
That's right, and he was French. What does that have to do with Grace Kelly not being comfortable speaking French? I've read several of your posts on this forum and you always seem to go off on tangents. It appears to me that you are trying to impress (someone?) with your knowledge of languages when all you really do is confuse the issue of the orginal post.The Bouviers - are you referring to JBKO's family? They were not Philadelphians. I believe they hailed from New York.
Yes, you are right, although the first Bouvier lived in Philadelphia.

I guess the Bouviers were an exception among the Philadelphians. But with the city having the second-largest Irish population in the US, it's amazing to think of what a (passive) Gaeltacht it once was!
And let's not forget that as Tsarevich, Alexei was most likely accorded many more advantages overall than OTMA would have received - I'm assuming.2) They risk upsetting Alexei who goes and cries to his Mama that he isn't allowed to partake in the fun. These would be reasons enough for a normal parent to put a stop to such behavior, don't you think?
On the contrary I think Aleksei would benefit most from learning to manage disappointment and jealousy rather than simply avoiding it.
