Excerpt from My Empress: Twenty-Three Years of Intimate Life With the Empress of All the Russias From Her Marriage to the Day of Her Exile
IT is the custom, or rather it was the custom, at the Russian Court, not to allow any Princess mar rying into the Imperial family to bring with her maids from her own country. I believe that this custom was also observed at Foreign Courts, at least in former times. Therefore, when it became known that the heir to the Russian Throne, as Nicholas II. Still was when he became the affianced husband of the lovely Princess Alix of Hesse, was about to bring a bride to his parents'' home, speen lations became rife, and much heart burning re sulted among people who considered] themselves entitled to the honour of becoming attendants on the future Empress of All the Russias.
