"Just as Nicholas felt intimidated by his father, Alexandra had the same feelings towards her mother-in-law. The cheerful and effusive Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna knew the whole society of St. Petersburg, for she had had a long period of adaptation from her arrival at court, as the bride of Tsarevich Alexander, to the moment of ascending the throne as Tsarina. She cared about the way she looked and dressed with pomp and luxury. She was known for her flawless skin, even after old age. Legend has it that she was one of the first people to do peeling. It was difficult for Maria to leave her old post and make room for her new daughter-in-law and new empress. It did not take long for the raids between them to begin. One of the first issues involved the state jewels. Maria did not want to give them up to her daughter-in-law, despite the fact that she had a beautiful collection of personal jewelry. Alexandra, resentful of her mother-in-law, wanted to refuse the pieces taken from the Dowager Empress, which the young woman, as a new Tsarina, was supposed to wear. To minimize friction and avoid further scandals, it was decided that the jewels would be under the responsibility of the Treasury, and could be requested by the two when certain events required their use, such as the coronation of Nicholas in Moscow. The influence of the Dowager Empress on the life of the couple continued intense for several years. She appointed all the servants of Alexandra and, having more experience in state affairs than her son, thanks to the complicity she had with her husband, Alexander III, took upon herself the duty of becoming an adviser to the young Tsar. The couple had meals with her in Anichkov, and even after they moved they used to have breakfast with Maria every day. The different personalities and tastes of the two women, however, meant that there was little understanding between them."

"'Several of us went together with my mother [Empress Maria Feodorovna] and Aunt Alix [Princess Alexandra of Wales]. That afternoon my mother wore a big hat, in broad brim trimmed with very bright red cherries…' The Empress and her sister stopped to look at a chimpanzee. The ape liked the look of the cherries. He pushed his arms through the bars and snatched at the hat, but an elastic held it secure to the Empress's head. The ape yelled and pulled harder. The Empress screamed and pulled in her turn. The Princess of Wales seized her by the waist and began pulling in her turn. In the end, the chimpanzee, deciding that a handful of cherries was hardly worth such a lot of trouble, let go [of] the hat so violently that the elastic snapped, the hat flew off the Empress's head and settled in the cap of a passer by."

Olga Alexandrovna, from The Last Grand Duchess by Ian Vorres

Russia! My astonished child's eyes see huge palaces, beautiful parks, fountains, gardens, amazing gatherings of relatives, military parades, religious services in churches glittering with gold, jewels so breathtaking you can hardly believe they are real [... ] My eyes also see long corridors, vestibules, and halls, of a size beyond compare, opening one into another, and our feet trotting timidly over wide stretches of floors, so unbounded and polished, that we seemed to walk on ice. And everywhere, a very characteristic smell: a mixture of turpentine, Russian leather and cigarette smoke, with a fragrance, unique in its own way, that distinguished the imperial palaces. Imperial is the right word, fantastic, like in fairy tales [...] every superlative is at its place in that Russia of the Tsars, that Russia full of splendour, which today is no more...

－ Queen Marie of Romania, “Story of My Life”
