I clicked on the link, Page, and found myself at a post I looked at a few years ago. Still it was nice to go back and re-watch - until I looked up at the clock and was horrified at how much time had passed!
I can't get the video Sledge posted of the visit to Romania out of my head. It's clarity and length make it the best I've seen. Among the details that haunt me are Olga and Tatiana formally bowing in turn to the queen (evidencing training as they were growing up), and the cheerful expressions on Tatiana's face as she chats with those around her. Best of all is the end, when everybody rises. Marie makes a beeline right for the baby in Olga's lap and snatches him up, underscoring everthing we've ever read about her love of children. It's as though she couldn't wait to get her hands on that baby.
