Tatiana was born at 10:40 in the morning. She weighed 8 1/4 lbs and was 54 cm long.

Her favorite pet was her French bulldog, Ortino. (There were two Ortinos, but I think the second one was the one everyone liked.)

Her regiment was the Uhlan Lancers.

Had Tatiana ever acted haughtily? ( I think she didn't ever in her whole life)
It is because most of the people on her time saw or perceived her as haughty.
Or...are the manners of being regal perceived as haughtiness before?

Tatiana Nikolaevna was generally shy , and just like her mother this was sometimes accounted for as haughtiness and pride.

I 've always found this excerpt from Lili Dehn' s book to be useful:

"The Grand Duchess Tatiana was as charming as her sister Olga, but in a different way. She has been described as proud, but I never knew anyone less so. With her, as with her mother, shyness and reserve were accounted as pride, but, once you knew her and had gained her affection, this reserve disappeared, and the real Tatiana became apparent. She was a poetical creature, always yearning for the ideal, and dreaming of great friendships which might be hers. The Emperor loved her devotedly, they had much in common, and the sisters used to laugh, and say that, if a favour were required, "Tatiana must ask Papa to grant it." She was very tall, and excessively thin, with a cameolike profile, deep blue eyes, and dark chestnut hair... a lovely Rose maiden, fragile and pure as a flower."

Valentina Chebotareva’s diary entry dated December 4 (an operation with a soldier surnamed Smirnov)

…..I boiled novocaine and Tatyana alone gathered and boiled the tools, and prepared the tables and clothes necessary for the operation. After 25 minutes, everything was ready. The operation went smoothly. The first cut, however, was difficult. A river of smelly pus poured out. It’s my first time in my life to have nausea witnessing that. Tatyana had no reaction. When Smirnov complains, her (Tatyana’s) face twiches and becomes crimson…

Same diary dated January 8

Tayana helped me cleaning the tools and boiling the silk. While we were doing those, dear Tatyana asked me about my childhood and if I have brothers and sisters…

October 24, 1915

Tatyana (baby) is the first one to arrive. She then tells us “I am going here as this is my second home. Indeed, it’s nice and cozy.”She then ran with me to the kitchen and there, we prepared bandages…

Same diary…April 2, 1917

Barbara Afanasevna received letters from Tatyana and Rita. On her lette, Tatyana wrote; “I head that the hospital moved to new premises. Yesterday, I ordered dishes to be delivered to you. The letter you’ll send me will go through censorship first….


Valentina Chebotareva’s Diary excerpts

January 8, 1916

….Shakh Bagov claims he’s a palm reader. When Olga gave her hand to predict on, Shakh told her she would have 12 children. On Tatyana’s turn, he told her she has a very interesting hand; A line of fate suddenly interrupted and makes a sharp turn to the side. He assures her that should mean something extraordinary…...

Where did you find these in English? This entry in particular is somewhat different from the translations I've come up with.

Probably translated ones from Russian website, just IMO. I love it, too. Tatiana was , according to accounts, 'princess', but ones states her manners wasn't like a princess' ones.

I actually got it from the links you placed on V.C.'s topic, Sarah! Thank you so much! I translated those from Russian through Google Translator and I corrected (???I hope so) the grammar as the translator is doing it in wrong grammar.

Thank you so much for all your thanks!

From the Biography of Olga N. by Meriel Buchanan

-   the Grand Duchess Tatiana once asked a lady-in-waiting how much one could buy for a hundred roubles, and would it, for instance, pay for a pair of gloves. She was very surprised when told that even the most expensive gloves would not cost more than twenty-five roubles.

Would anybody happen to know what happened with Tatiana´s refugee commitee after Bolsheviks seaized the power? I once heard it´s still functioning, is that true?
