She was known to be a strict mother.

Irina or Nina?? is that the same name?

[Carolath Habsburg]

Nope, those are different names ;-)

[grandduchessella]

George and Marie's daughters were Nina and Xenia. Just a typo.

[Eric_Lowe]

Xenia was the one who believed in Anna Anderson.

THE HOSPITALS OF GRAND DUCHESS GEORGE OF RUSSIA IN HARROGATE  ..........Link by the BBC


The memorial to the men who died in the hospitals.

Very interesting. I had absolutely no idea that the Grand duchess ran hospitals in Harrogate. For non-Brits on the Forum, Harrogate is a spa town and was something of a health resort at that time.

A hospital of the grand duchess was in Harrogate at the address,   1 Tewit Well Avenue . I have a photo of the grand duchess with some soldiers outside the hospital.   

[grandduchessella]

I have a copy of this image (mine's from the Illustrated War News but this saves me scanning!):



I think that's her niece Margarethe of Denmark on the right--she was one of her nurses.

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. She is. Is she in London at that time ?

A hospital of the grand duchess was in Harrogate at the address,   1 Tewit Well Avenue . I have a photo of the grand duchess with some soldiers outside the hospital.   

  This photograph appears in Charlotte Zeepvat's The camera and the tsars, page 201. I believe the building has since been demolished, and now the address is a block of flats.

Thanks for the update. Was Margaret of Denmark in England during the War ?
