  • What is That????

    - The fashion britain movie :):):):):):)

    You do not have any chance to understand Russian. Understand only one who can learn Russian language.

    Do not make stupid movies about Russia. You have Jems Bond. He is silent because gupy. He is intact because without spirit. Make a movie about him.

    Nikolay Second(Romanov) is not Nicholas. He is NIKOLAY

  • Good God! If thats how shallow Alix was, and how weak Nicky was I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did..How different it could have been for everyone involved "especially Russia!" if Nicky has become a constitutional monarch when Stolypin came to power..Wiser heads might have prevailed in 1914.

  • Alexandra was a mentally troubled woman for many years, the very early death of her mother, the incredible Grand Duchess Alice of Hesse and By Rhine, changed her in so many ways, but she did play an incredibly sad part in the demise of the dynasty, which may have been for the best in the long run. except for the horrific deaths she and her family met...that was a terrible tragedy.

  • Oh thoughs russians!

  • wats this from

  • The actress playing the Tsarina looks plain and ugly. No offense, but still........

  • @deedragongirl Tsarina Alexandra, was not the greatist looking woman anyway and she was a painfully shy too boot.

  • Alexandra I am sure did not speak english with an accent, it had to be the opposite. She was born in Germany, a grandchild of queen Victoria, She was known to be quite reticent and terribly shy. I had a german great-grandmother, who was a child in the early 20th century, who once told me that the tsarina had red cheeks while she spoke to people and very secluded, as if she tried to escape. My great mama said she never got over the fascination of the Russian empress, I could see that in her eyes

  • What's the name of this movie?????? I love this part!! :)

  • Queen Victoria refused to take in the United Kingdom the Romanov family during the russian revolution despite the fact that Alexandra was a relative... It's not fair and criminal !!!!

  • @bobduvar It was actually Queen Victoria's grandson George V who was on the throne & refused to give them sanctuary.

  • @LRMc60 I was never a fan of either George or Mary. George could have had the balls to save his family and ignore what what recommended by his ministers, but he did not. i read that that haunted him the rest of his life, as well as it should have. royalty or not, to turnyour back onyour own family and know they were murdered, i can't imagine.

  • @princessofhesse It wasn't his family though. Nicholas was only related to Victoria through marriage.

  • @bobduvar She could not do it. Victoria died seventeen years before the October Revolution.

  • It is a crap portrayal of the Imperial family. Alix especially. She was painfully shy, not nasty or haughty like in this film. She was practically raised in England and loved everything about it. She almost NEVER spoke russian, as a family never. Always english. Their diaries are in english for a large part. Read the Tsars sisters Olga biography. She tells what they WERE like.

  • It made me want to hit alexandras character :|

  • @vlkvojak -  Feeling is the same

  • What is this From?

  • @silasreade It's from "The Lost Prince" on PBS, the movie was primarily about George V & Queen Mary's youngest son John, who was epileptic, lived apart from the rest of his family most of the time, & died young.

  • @LRMc60 Thanks! 

  • @silasreade I've seen the movie, it's sad but sweet, with a good cast. Miranda Richardson plays Queen Mary.

  • The BBC rarely puts a foot wrong when commissioning period drama.And it excelled itself with Poliakov's brilliant "The Lost Prince".In times where we are 'treated' to dumbed-down television with the tremendously boring 'reality' programmes and endless repeats this drama was a real breath of fresh air.

  • Robert Massie has often said that George V's and Nicholas' personalities should have been switched. Nicky had neither the intelligence or personality to handle Personal Rule or stand up to the Kaisers taunts and bullying, While the strong willed and domineering George chafed under his constitutional restrictions and detested the "Farmer George" role pushed on him, which Nicky would have been delighted to fulfill.

  • It was 1909 not 8 In 1909 they would have been Olga 14; Titiana 13; Maria 10 & Anastasia 8. The girls look a little to old for that age.

  • CZAR liked  fishing , I like fishing.

  • @aviomaster Ah but can you fish like a Tsar?

  • That is so weird to be on the ocean so formally dressed. No fun in that! I know they were so formal back then (snore) how boring life would have been to lived in such constrains!

  • @paigetncat

    Not at all boring life....for elegance and tact are the needed colours for a enjoyable togetherness.

    Comparetively speaking I do not find these undressed, unmannered times so funny, moeover they seem of poor and very less inspiring...

  • @sinoples I think it would be restricted in a lot of ways. I personally, since I'm a woman, wouldn't want to have to wear a corset for my whole life. I know today we are over sloppy and people need to have more manners. I wouldn't want to live during that time period because people died of things that are curable in today's society. A lot of us would have died along time ago including myself. I was hospitalized when I was 14 with an infection and I would have died if not for modern tech.

  • @sinoples We wouldn't have indoor plumbing, running water, electricity many things. I think a compromise from both would be good like the 1950's. They still wore hats and gloves and dressed up into town. That's what mama remembers from her childhood. I think there are pros and cons of back then and now but man, the beach, you can't be formal on the beach, gotta get into the waves! Luv the beach! What was up with her and the shoes? That was weird for even back then!

  • Do Alexei of Russia and his sisters of Russia met prince Gorgie and prince Jonnie of Wales England in real life like that video?

    

  • @Jhun630 Yes they did met them..

  • Which Grand Duchess is it that speaks to Johnnie? Is it Maria?

  • @PieceOfLivingHistory

    It's Olga.

  • I like ti when she says, "Don't they look perfectly splendid, Johnny?"

  • In that film of THE LOST PRINCE,I wonder why are all the sisters of Alexei looks a bit older and bigger than Alexei.They should be Olga 13, Tatiana 11, Marie,9 and Anastasia 7.And also why Prince Georgie and Prince Johnnie look a bit bigger than than.Georgie and Johnnie should be 5 and 3 yrs. old.

  • Ummm... If this was 1908, Alexei should have been only 4 years old, Anastasia 7, Maria 9, Tatiana 11 and Olga 13... They look a bit older than that..

  • Alexandra never had good Russian so thats why she couldnt have Russian accsent.moreover when she was a child she had spent a lot of time with her grandmother Queen Victoria so Alexandra had really good English.but her French was bad

  • Tsaritsa Aleksandra was born and raised in Deutschland. She spoke in this order: German English Russian and French. She spoke English with a soft German accent and sometimes almost resembling a Russian accent. The girls all spoke the same, the Spoke Alot of English and Russian. French and German not so much but out of the two French was more frequently spoken than German.

  • Which movie is this? :)

  • @antisweetTV2 This is from a tv series called The Lost Prince, its the story of George V's youngest son, Prince John, an epileptic who died aged 13. It was aired in January 2003.

  • And while the actress playing her has a lovely and royal look-Alexandra had a sweeter and kinder face .

  • Not very realistic : they don't even speak French.

  • @YvesGingras

    Nicholas' family didn't speak French amongst themselves. The children were only fluent in Russian and English. Alexei only spoke Russian fluently because his illness prevented most of his lessons from taking place.

  • she was tortured by her own ailments, mistreated by her inlaws, hysterical about her son's health and wrought with guilt because she forsook her religion for orthodoxism, a prisioner of her own fears and never felt she was destined to be happy, tragic from the beginning and blind to the needs of her country, out of touch, but how could she be otherwise?

  • Dang. If this was supposed to be in 1908, then Anastasia would look like a 7 year old... she looks like she's 14 or 15! And Marie, she would have been 9, not a teenager! lol.

  • What has any monarchy or other ruling class done to eradicate poverty and slum like conditions within their own "Kingdom",while they live in excess,parade around and let themselves be worshiped?From a pure human point of view it is tragic that they had to experience ruthless execution!But from a point of equality?There is no equality when one lives in excess and others are made to slave for them in what ever way.This has been perpetuated for millenniums.And to this day people buy into this.

  • @vortex162 Ah, what you say is too but the children were innocent and sheltered and they were killed just because they were born. They were paying for their parents sins. A dude has to be one cold heart piece of shit to kill innocent kids.

  • wat movie is this

  • Another one of those videos with no sound and mysteriously no one complaining. Which means all the comments are fake and you're all spies out to kill me. Alexandra was a bitch, but she was a loving bitch. Precisely, she had a dour face because she had migraines, which feel something like your head is about to explode and you want to scream. Too, Russians were ignorant savages, even the aristocracy, and Rasputine means "debauched"; it was a mark of Cain put on him in youth. So, the empire fell.

  • I always thought the nanny was rather rude when she admonished johnny for suggesting he help the Tsar fish by saying "i'm sure the emperor does not need any fishing lessons from you".

    She needs lessons on how to speak to her betters - invalid or no.

  • @fvitchard He's a child. Nannies enforce discipline and teach manners as well as take care of their charges. She was completely in line and the King and Queen would've backed her up.

  • @NYCBlonde Fair enough, but she was out of line. Johnny was merely trying to be helpful. Her tone was belittling. She slighted the poor child. I doubt the King and Queen would have backed her up. She should have at the very least been slapped.

  • ok it's all wrong! romanov's spoke english always, they spoke better english than russian. i hate the way they portrait romanov family

  • @KKislitsyna Yeah, that was weird. I suppose they wanted to indicate that this was specifically the RUSSIAN branch of the family (film often simplifies things like that because it's a visual medium) and it's confusing that the King and the Tsar look so much alike. But yeah, inaccurate.

  • Don't forget, Alexandra was always in bad health. Her five pregnancies made her a semi-invalid and she had severe sciatic pain for most of her life, so she probably would have been very nervous about where she went walking.

  • Did George V dislike Alexandra his cousin?

  • Why you use down syndrome to push muss murder button? On art of Turner british respect down syndrome like princess. This people cant make decisions about mass murder and I am from Poland and I know they still in power!

  • She had a English accent? She was from Germany. Her mother was English but her father was German.

  • @88Willhur But she was raised in England

  • too bad they not alive. would have been nice to meet them.

  • They all had to speak French at the Russian court since the reign of Catherine the Great. All the children would have had French accents

  • what movie is this from?

  • @1997nutcracker ,

    It's a scene from Peter Polyokov's "The Lost Prince",aired on BBC2 in 2010.It was mainly about the life of Prince John,son of King George V & Queen Mary.He was kept from public view as he had epilepsy,not Down's Syndrome as some people have hinted at here.Back then,epilepsy would have been seen as something to hide away.It's available on dvd,and is well worth watching!

  • 01:50 "English summer. The blue sky. The sea. Liosha, look, little ships."

    03:51 "We will necessarily bring to you a little bear from Russia."

  • Alexandra was a tsarina, not a bitch.

  • @speaktheworld You can be both a Tsarina and a bitch. Alexandra was living proof (so was her mother-in-law Marie Feodorovna)...although the depiction of Alexandra in this movie is absurd.

  • @speaktheworld It's an English movie..so,go figure.

  • @speaktheworld at least they got the grand dutchesses right - kind, gentle and caring

  • @speaktheworld actually the whole term "tsar" is WRONG since times of Peter the I.Just saying.Correct version would be empress

  • - Alexandra spoke russian with a strong german accent. She became very unpopular in her adoptive country due to her haughty and rigid personalitiy, her defense of autocracy and the influence Rasputin gained over her. She despised russian aristocracy as much as they despised her. She was branded as provincial and parochial.

    - Her daughters, the grand duchesses, had an english governess, Margaretta Eagar.

  • Historical curiosities:

    - Empress Alexandra was considered a suitable bride for Albert Edward, duke of Clarence, the princes´s of Wales eldest son, but she rejected him.

    - George V was in love with his cousin, princess Mary of Edimburgh, but she was induced to marry king Ferdinand I of Romania.

    - Queen Mary of Teck was proposed by russian grand duke Michael Mijailovitch, cousin of Nicholas II, but she refused. Subsequently he married morganatically, was banished from Russia and lived in England.

  • Young Prince Johns story is still a life clouded in secret in UK....he died very young hidden away at Sandringham Norfolk and is buried in a quiet corner of a small church....a victim of the 'Royal Curse'.....

  • Sorry, but both the Czar's daughters and Princes Edward and George from the UK ages where almost the same, so I don't see why they portray the girls older.

  • hey

    could someone tell me the name of this movie ?

  • Wow the Czarina is a bitch!, I don't know why Nikolai want to marry this women. and btw what George and Nikolai did in 4:44 , it seems they did some pantomin, its cute. I can't belive they are Emperor and King but they treated lower by each wife especially the Bitch Czarina!!

  • @hunkshunter Both the Tsar nicholas and King George's wives were both German.

  • This scene is simply ridiculous without history accuracy :) First the court language of Russia was French language. Then inside the family Nicholas II and Alexandra used English language. Then the Osbourne House was a home of Alexandra before she married Nicholas II. Practically Alexandra´s grandmother Queen Victoria was a foster mother for Alexandra, who was her favourite grandchild. That shoe scene is then totally ridiculous. The Romanovs loved outdoor coutryside life and outdoor activities.

  • I find this portrayal of Alexandra very incorrect.

  • is this on DVD?! what is it called?!

  • Comment removed

  • from the lost prince. Great film.

  • Is this real? Or pretend. Silly question I know.

  • Where can I get this movie? Look interesting.

  • @freelancelady this is from The Lost Prince, about Prince John

  • i think it is the lost prince

  • What film was this?

  • all the russian royalty spoke in French, only the common people spoke in Russian and Catherine WAS a German princess

  • @jamiecarter1984 the common people lol

  • It is fashion industrie for smaller bitch!

  • Slim Shady keep not fighting!

  • Hi people, machines are alive, be ready!

  • excellent

  • Stolypin's daughter (who lived in San Francisco after the Revolution) wrote an interesting book about her father. It portrays Nicholas as a shiftless, underhanded, liar and cheat, breaking promises, conniving against ministers who held him to account. The only sensible Romnov was the Empress Maria Feodrovna, who supported Stolypin and who could coerce her son into behaving properly..

  • I hate the way they portray Alix in this film. The real Alexandra spoke English with an English accent and would never be so rude as to talk about how small the place was and she would not make a fuss about the damn shoes. Whoever wrote this did her an injustice. Alix might have been shy and antisocial, but she was not the type to make Nicholas do something so ridiculous as getting her shoes.

  • @hatelizwebber Well, the filmmakers based their (the Romanovs) characters on Soviet propagandas.

  • @hatelizwebber Alix was German and probably spoke English with a German accent. Her mother was the one from England (the daughter of Queen Victoria) but Alix was raised in Germany.

  • @hatelizwebber , you are absolutely right. Not even in the worst Russian history books you can read about this behavior from Empress Alix. I saw this film and it is not accurate at all.

  • @hatelizwebber i agree but she wouldnt have been speaking english in an english accent she was german and lived in russia so spoke it in a russian or german accent

  • @omahonyjoe

    Alexandra had an English mother as well as an English nanny. All accounts of her have her speaking with an English accent, perhaps with a tinge of German, but definitely more to the English side.

  • @hatelizwebber The story about the shoes is widely known, it was real :)

  • whats the movie called??

  • what movie is this?

  • It's good that George V wouldn't have the Romanovs in 1917.

  • @JuanMacready Nicholas was a criminal--his behavior in crushing the peasants in 1906 - 1907 was criminal, a betrayal of his responsibilities as sovereign to render justice. Alexandra was less culpable but she urged him to crack the whip and might be guilty of something there. However their children were entirely innocent. If only for their sakes I would have taken the Romanovs in.

  • They all deserved to be executed.

  • @JuanMacready  5 teenagers who never harmed anyone deserve to be murdered by a pack of swine. Hmmmm That is a way of thinking that is sure to do you, personally, a lot of good.

  • Pack of swine? You stupid cunt. We have enough fucking worthless royals in the UK. Pity we didn't kill the whole fucking family in 1917.

  • @JuanMacready You're British? Surely not! An American redkneck perhaps or some guttersnipe that crawled out of the sewers of Algiers is possible, but never in the world British!

    In any case, our Queen and her family are as far above you and your lot as the sun itself. Nobody is going to kill anybody, certainly not you. You go about your business with head bowed, and leave decent people to get on with theirs. Traitor!

  • The Queen is a powerless irrelevance, like every monarch since William IV. When she dies we should have a referendum on the monarchy. Nobody wants to pay for an old man like Charles to be crowned, or to have his fucking ugly completely bald son either. Thank God that George V did the right thing in 1917.

  • @JuanMacready The legal definition of treason in the UK is: high treason is disloyalty to the sovereign with the intention to undermine her authority, plotting the murder of the sovereign, having sexual intercourse with the sovereign's consort, with her eldest unmarried daughter, or with the consort of the heir to the throne; levying war against the sovereign and adhering to the sovereign's enemies, giving them aid or comfort; and attempting to undermine the lawful line of succession.

  • @JuanMacready I truly can't understand you. You'd argue if the Queen had more power, but yet, you argue because she has no power. For fuck sake, get a clue you moron. And a President would do you no different. On the contrary - Portugal has over 40% supporters of the Monarchy, according to recent polls... because the Presidents have been utterly incompetent. I'd give everything to have a head-of-state such as your Queen.

    Long live the UK and Portugal! Sheers to the oldest alliance in the world!

  • Well then you had better form an alliance with Spain and make Juan Carlos your head of state.

  • @JuanMacready If you're proposing another Iberian Union then you're an idiot. In case you know something of history, Portuguese Monarchs, after the fall of the Iberian Union and Portuguese re-conquest of independence, were from the House of Braganza. Their descendants are still alive, and do much more for Portugal than the Presidents we have (just compare both budgets). Each Spanish pays 0,50 euros for their Royal Family. While each Portuguese pays 1,90 euros for our President. Amazing.

  • Did you see the Trooping of the Colour yesterday?

  • @JuanMacready In case you didn't notice, I'm Portuguese. As in Portuguese living in Portugal. I'm not that bad in geography, but I do believe that the United Kingdom is a bit far away from here, especially from Lisbon... and London, if that matters.

    Why? Does it cost a lot of money? At least it attracts tourists from everywhere. The Presidential guard for instance are a disgrace :/ and I'm not saying this because I'm a Monarchist... because even the Portuguese Republicans recognize it.

  • @JuanMacready For ignorant remarks like that, you deserve a good smack upside the head. Quit being such a fucking moron, you're embarrassing yourself.

  • @Kageen1918 What remarks?

  • This was a great show but I can't understand why they portrayed Alexandra like this. They don't even have her speaking English, which is absurd considering she was Queen Victoria's favorite granddaughter.

  • @ROCKSLIDZ  English was her first language!

  • This portrait of non-English speaking Romanov's is absurd! Alexandra Feodrovna's mother died young; her father was negligent; so she spent most of her time living with her Grandmother, Queen Victoria.

    The family language of Nicholas and Alexandra was English, not Russian.

  • @mc0558 I agree. I'm surpised the BBC portrayed the Romanovs like this. Curious, quite curious.

  • Which movie is this?

  • @fromsamaritantosin i think its The Lost Prince

  • Empress Alexandra grew up in her grandmother Queen Victoria's household. She spoke English with a British accent and she would have been very familiar with the weather on the Isle of Wright.

    In fact she didnt like speaking Russian; she and Nicholas spoke to each other in English.

  • Other time I went out in UK 5 am and I met Monaco Monarch car with 'Queen bed' inside, so I never seen that before.

  • So nobody will belive me today I went out 7 am in Poland, nobody there, birds back from other countries and they did shape TV and VIVA and you think, that is just all from my life like this?

  • Save green! Eyes as well.

  • O! I think that is good place for my last fashionable text about help for Russian children------->

    Here I leave you this small thing . it is our big ship central steering-wheel and you better help children, even if this Nazi children heads are in tv shape [@@]

  • what nonsense! Walking on a red carpet at the beach. I doubt very much that Nicholas would have done that.

  • what movie is this?

  • Lost Prince

  • I sthe one longing for the overshoes the tsarina? I would like to watch the whole movie. Are there more scenes with the Romanovs?

  • Just FYI:

    This was a BBC movie titled "The Lost Prince" recounting the life of British HRH THe Prince John, . He was considered "slow" and was kept out of the public's.

    HIM Nicholas II's mother was Empress Marie sister to Queen Alexandra of the UK. George and Nicky were 1st cousins.

    HIM Alexandra was a the daughter of HRH The Princess Alice, aunt to Kaiser Wilhelm. Willy was Alix's 1st cousin. Her uncle was Edward VII of England.

  • its almost impossible to tell george appart from nicholas they both love their funny beards. only thing nicholas has a slight curled moustash.

  • Nicholas was better looking than George V.

  • George was taller than nicholas.

  • I thought Nicholas was an inch taller than George? I know George V was 5'6".

  • Yes, that's correct, my mistake.

  • We have to remember that many of the royal houses of Europe could be very inbred at times. The Emperess was the grand daughter of Queen Victoria.And daughter to the kaiser of Germany. The tsar himself was 1st cousins to the Kaiser of Germany and the Prince of Wales. What a bunch of inbreds!!

  • True. That's how the Europeans kept power and influence,incest was quite common up until about the end of World War 2. I don't think marrying relatives happens much anymore.

    On another interesting note,the Romanov's family line did not die out. Only the "main branch" sort of speak,I've seen reports that cousins still live in Western Europe and in the United States Of America.

  • Friend, Maria Vladimirovna Romanova and Nicholas Romanov are vying for the title "Pretender" in lieu of the main line being extinguished. The problem is that Maria V. married a Protestant (non-morganatic), and Nicholas R. has a complicated line stretching back to the grandson of Nicholas I.

    Sadly, it does not seem as if either of them is actively pursuing the Throne, but bickering over its legacy.

  • What is more, Russia has, since the edit of Paul, followed the Salic law Maria Vladimirovna, has in Romanov law, no legal claim to inherit or to pass on to her descendants the Russian crown. Aside from which, she is not a very nice person!

  • According to the Romanov law, a woman can only inherit the throne in the extreme chance that their would be no male heirs. And since there are none, she is the heir.

  • 1. There are male Romanov heirs available who pass on the family name from father to son.

    2. My real objection to Maria Vladimirovna is the way her ridiculous pretensions and her usurpation of primacy in the family contrary to the Romanov law of succession There is a Romanov Family Association. They recognize Nicholas Romanov as head of the family and that , with the abdication of Prince Mikhail Alexandrovich in 1917, sovereignty in Russia passed back into the hands of the Russian people.

  • @gotch09 Thats the problem when you have so few royal families., and you have no more to marry into

  • @gotch09 The Empress was not the daughter of Wilhelm II, Kaiser of Germany. The Kaiser was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England, as was the Empress. This makes them First Cousins. The Emperor and the Kaiser were third cousins by birth, but first cousins through Nicholas' marriage to Alix. However, your general contention is correct - the royal houses of Europe were heavily inbred.

  • @PtolemyofEgyptI Then who was the Empresses parents? How could the Kaiser be the granddaughter of the Queen of England. And how could the KAISER be the grandDAUGHTER of Queen Victoria?

  • @gotch09 Obviously, that was a mistake. I clearly meant grandson. The Empress was born Alix, daughter of Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine, and his wife, Princess Alice, third daughter of Queen Victoria, which makes her Queen Victoria's granddaughter. Kaiser Wilhelm II was the son of Frederick III and Princess Victoria, who was the eldest daughter (and child) of Queen Victoria. This makes them both grandchildren, and consequently first cousins. Make sense now?

  • Comment removed

  • @gotch09 Incidentally, from what I can discover, Alix was only very distantly related to the Kaiser, through a shared ancestor, King Frederick William II of Prussia, reigned 1786-1797. Alix was his great-great-granddaughter. Wilhelm II was his great-great-grandson, in a completely different branch of the family.

  • What is this from - a British TV mini-series or what?

  • как называется этот фильм?

  • Yes! What film is this from, please?

  • The Czarina spoke perfect English, in fact the Czar spoke to her in English, so hearing this actress speaking with what I guess is supposed to be a heavy German accent is somewhat comical.

  • @Franciscus1958

    I believe they did that because the Alexandra Feodorovna was originally Alix of Hesse and by Rhine...which is part of the German Empire. Her mother was Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, who was Queen Victoria's daughter.

  • @Franciscus1958 Especially since she was an ENGLISH girl, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria lol.

  • @Franciscus1958 The Czarina was originally a princess from Germany.

  • @Franciscus1958 well, you see, the Tzarina was originally German.

  • @Franciscus1958 Is it true what I've heard and read that the Czar and Czarina actually spoke very little Russian, and/or spoke it infrequently?

  • @Franciscus1958 exactly! Alix's mother was Princess Alice of the United Kingdom. Queen Victoria's daughter. Her mother definately would have spoken to her in English from birth. There is no doubt Alix spoke perfect English.

  • They looked so much alike. Almost like brothers instead of cousins. :)

  • Nicholas II and George were always in different clothes, when they meet (historical fact)

  • There is a photo of both of them wearing these exact outfits.

  • Actually, there is a photo of the two of them wearing these exact same outfits together.

  • The visit was actually in 1909, following Edward VII's much delayed state visit to Russia in 1908.

  • why can't I hear sound?

  • The scenery is beautiful but the portrayal of Alexandra is way off course. She was never so patronising about 'small' houses nor so ridiculous about her shoes.

  • Irony of the the two kings, was that neither wanted to be king.

  • The girl who smiled at Johnny, was that Anastasia? Weren't they engaged? being the youngest of both familes, and being second cousins, I imagine they would be.
