I think Marie was ravishing, and Tatiana a cover girl just waiting to be discovered, as you can see in the cover of Rasputin's daughter by Robert Alexander.But otherwise I agree with Leushino, that they are people we woudn't have known if we had lived back the, our role would be much as it is now, just fans who admire the lives they lived.
I admire, respect, and otherwise am a fan of the last Imperial Family, but I guess we sometimes get overly caught up in treating them as if they were modern celebrities. Tatiana and Cleopatra are a strange combination, and OTMA would never have seduced their guards.
