I always had the impression that being more of a non-conformist and perhaps less attached to the kind of life that had been lost, Olga chose to 'go her own way'. She did it in her marriage, etc...I think if she had wanted, George would certainly have granted her a home as well. I don't think her choice of husband played into it so much. I mean, they might not all have liked it but the marriage was sanctioned by the Tsar. QV was well-known for her lack (by royal standards) of snobbery, allowing 'common' nobility and morgantic unions to intermarry in her family and turned her own nose up at those who criticized her. And Queen Mary came from less-than-illustrious beginnings as well as coming to the aid (as mentioned before) of her unwed & pregnant cousin. I think Olga just loved Denmark, had spent more time there, was used to being near her mother and naturally gravitated there. The farm she had in Canada resembled that of Denmark. I've never read of any different feeling on George's part for his 2 cousins. And,yes, Olga did still receive presents, letters and, on American trips, visits from her English royals. This includes Elizabeth II who was only born after the Russian Revolution and who would've only really known her through what her family told her so if she visited her at a private luncheon and Olga called her 'Lilibet' as quoted by Ian Vorres, there must've been some decent contact.
