Beautiful woman...beautiful couple...
Alexandra always looked so sad and tragic, as if she knew what was coming. These photos are the only ones I have ever seen that show the Empress occasionally smiling. Great video, thanks for posting.
Poor woman, she had to suffer the loss of her amazing mother (which is Queen Victoria's daughter Alice) and closest younger sister Marie at a very young and had turned into a quiet person, later in her life she wanted her son to recover so that is why she had Rasputin to heal him, and at the end of her life her and her beautiful family get murdered, may she and her family rest in peace
No one deserves to be executed in a such brutal way. She and her children were luminous, such a beautiful family. RIP.
yes that is right. so so sad
Such a beautiful girl & a lovely & dignified Tsarina, whose sad eyes only speak of her lifelong sense of failure as the mother who was innocently responsible for her only son being born with the curse of haemophilia! She was a devoted wife & mother, loved her husband & he her, from the moment they first met to the last hour of their terrible murder! May she rest in peace!
God save & preserve Holy Mother Russia!
Given that this piece of royal garbage and her husband were behind the pogroms in Russia, they got exactly what they wrought on others.
The children were innocent, yes. Hence Alexandra and Nicholas were never born to be leaders. They were beyond horrible to their people.
Is there a gracious manner too be executed?? Patricia Brenner said--above post.
Alexandra Fyodorovna's eyes show extreme sorrow in every photograph as if she knew the tragedy her family was to endure;;;
In not one photograph, baby, child, adolescent, young deb, bride, mother does she ever smile. The permanent downturn of her mouth as a child is obvious. Presage of a life of sorrow ? Or just a nasty tempered, spoiled child ? No, the death of the family was wrong, so wrong on so many levels but that's not the focus here. The focus is Alix, an obviously unhappy, pouting child, woman and mother. She brought on the illness of Alexi, she undermined her husband's authority in public (and he let her -- there's lots of blame all 'round). Her presence prevented the family's escape to England. Actually, come to think of it, she really had no reason to smile, ever. Ever wonder who, other than Alix, Nicholas could have married ? Were there other choices ? Why her ? Was it Victoria's expansionist ambitions in play, again ? Was Nicholas "bullied" into marrying this unsmiling woman ? I stand to be corrected. Please post any photo of Alix smiling broadly or laughing if you have one. I have never, in all my research on the family, found one, hence my previous statements. Please prove me wrong. I await your response.
@@petercrossley2956 She lost her mother, at 6, and immediately her possessions/toys had to be burnt. She moved to Russia where she was trying for years to give birth to a son, and when this son came he was hemophiliac. He would scream for hours, every single day his life would be at risk and she had to worry not only for her child's' health (listening to him screaming from pain, whispering exhausted ''mama'' with her unable to help him as much as she wanted to) but also to keep it a secret from those hyenas who wanted a healthy heir. Russia was accusing her of being a spy, then Russia accusing her of having sexual intercourse with Rasputin, they whole world was against her. She could see her husband doing wrong moves, that caused anger to the Russian nation and she could not prevent much. It doesn't require much intelligence to see that she had reasons (valid ones) to fall to depression. Princess/empress/duchess/Tsarina, you can name all the titles and riches in the world, but when someone looses a mother, battles every single day for his/her beloved sons' life and is hated by the world and the couple is made fun of, from the whole world while storm is approaching, i don't think anyone would be very positive and happy and want to smile. Look at her eyes this is called depression. As for smiling specifically, i guess you did not see all of the video, because there are smiling pictures of her in it. If you refer to pictures that should be like portraits, or very official posing pics, i m sorry but whom else did you ever see smiling on such themes? You can't wear a crown on your head the size of a watermelon and smile while saying yolo and be called an empress.
@@petercrossley2956 YEP. Like am sorry, I wish ill no one. And Nicky was not good king either, he was easily pussy whipped by his mom and Alex. But it is sad how we think oh royalty is lovely. They were just people too, nothing special about them. So not giving Nicky a pass either but, if he was normal person, I would left her ages ago.
When Bloody Sunday happened he wanted be all "OMG GUYS..DUDE! AM FAULT please for me" he was going to plead to the people, his sorries. As he should but she all "NO! its not your fault" when ya it was. And he finally abdicate the throne. Alex was pissy. As she felt entitled her life was bred for his moment he ruined it, of her and the kids. No he was trying save his wife and kids at this point! or how she was all "you even said, our son is not fit, take him off the list as next king in your place too!" WINE WINE..you know. He was getting spine and being a man, He was royal and rich in his heart for his family...let someone else wear that heavy crown he thought at this point hes done and hes fucken tried!
Only her and her hubby did nothing to improve lives of their people. They weren't good leaders, but they didn't deserve to be killed.
@@petercrossley2956 Alix was called sunny by her family when she was a child because of her sunny disposition. I've seen smiling pictures of her as a toddler and before the death of her mother and sister. She have also tragically lost a brother who fell to his death from the upper floor of their house. She became withdrawn and shy after losing her mother and sister and seemed to never recovered. As for marrying the tsar, it was the tsar who first set sight on her and he was determined to marry her and no other girl. Tsar Alexander and the tsarina was opposed to the union as was Queen Victoria. Queen victoria advised Alix against the union. Alix's family had wanted her to marry her cousin, prince Albert Victor, the eldest son of the prince of Wales but Alix refused. The other reason that the union was difficult for Alix was because she had refused to convert to Russian orthodox initially.
Such a beautiful family . It's sad how the family was executed. Thanks for the post.

Sí, realmente fue triste, pero también era triste e injusto que el pueblo muriera de hambre mientras ellos vivían en la opulencia.
Griss Valladares En el reinado de esta Santa familia, Rusia estaba en el pico del poder. El hambre es discutible.
Our Beloved Tsarina Alexandra. I pray you found peace and happiness in a better Kingdom, the Kingdom of God. God Bless you, your Imperial Majesty.
Does anyone know why all princesses from abroad becoming Russian Tsarina took the second name "Fjodorowna"? It should mean the daughter of Fjodor but who is Fjodor? Фёдоровна in Russian...does it mean "from abroad" or something similar?
The children deserve Heaven. She and her husband deserve Hell.
Their incompetence caused millions to suffer and starve.
Ulrich Lehnhardt Fjodor/Feodor is the name of the Romanov family’s patron saint, and so all brides who could not transliterate their father’s name into a Russian patronymic would take that name. Therefore not every princess used feodorovna, but it was very common.
@@BluePenguin200 Thank you! This answered my question.
The empress might have been unaware, but not innocent. Under the reign of the tsars there was a lot of suffering among the common people. Th Romanows lived in palaces, much of the Russians were starving. I cannot understand how someone actually admire them. Overdose Disney, I guess...
Her eyes are so sad to all her pictures. I felt bad for her and to her family. Her story is neglected by many.
Ya, but being royalty doesn't make they more deserving then others.
Plus, I don't think they needed this. But people for get how she did run the show, and Nicky's mom and Alex had him pussy whipped. She was rather tough, and turned the other cheek when Bloody Sunday happened, telling Nicky it wasn't his fault. When it was. he wanted to go say sorry and be with his people, to fix it. As a king does, but she all "NO!" Their people blamed Nicky and wanted him, when his crime was he was pussy whipped she never been their ruler, but Alex called shots. So she kind of dig her own grave.
Breathtaking. My eyes have welled up in tears for the tragedy of the Romanov assassinations. 😥😥😥
The picture in 4:46 should be remove from this beautiful video of the last Empress. It is disgusting. BASTOS!!!
I think it just showed her "story", how she was portrayed by the Bolsheviks and the tabloids back in the days. Her kids even saw those drawings while in captivity. Except for love, her life was no fairytal at all.
There were much worse animations done on Marie Antoinette.
Alma, I agree. It ruined the tribute.
It's tremendous how the family was executed..l hope to be happy in the kingdom of God..and we remember them with love and respect..greetings from Greece
The children maybe, but not the tsar nor the tsarina. Did they live like your god Jesus proclaimed it? In poverity? Not really, isn't it? I think that Lenin was closer to Jesus than the Romanows!
Alexandra Feodorovna (Russian: Александра Фёдоровна; 6 June 1872 - 17 July 1918) was Empress of Russia as the spouse of Nicholas II, the last ruler of the Russian Empire.
Originally known as Alix of Hesse and by Rhine, she was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
Upon being received into the Russian Orthodox Church, she was given the Christian name and patronymic Alexandra Feodorovna and-having been put to death along with her immediate family while in Bolshevik captivity in 1918-was canonized in 2000 as Saint Alexandra the Passion Bearer.
Alexandra was the last Tsarina of Russia and one of the most famous royal carriers of the haemophilia disease that descended from Queen Victoria.
Her reputation for influencing her husband's resistance to the surrender of autocratic authority over the country and her known faith in the Russian mystic, Grigori Rasputin, severely damaged her popularity and that of the Romanov monarchy in its final years.
Que fim trágico para uma família tão linda Coitadas das meninas que foram assassinadas tbem. Como o see humano é capaz de tanta atrocidade. A rainha Vitória sabia o perigo que eles sempre viveram e seu coração não tinha sossego com isso. Ainda bem que ela não deu tempo dela saber oque iria acontecer. Que todos eles estavam com Deus em paz. Sempre qdo vejo morro de dó das meninas ainda que tenha sido no século passado. Vidas ceifadas , sonhos destruídos. Mas a alma dos que fizeram isso jamais terão paz
Her whole family was surrounded by tragedy. She carried so much grief, and perhaps even guilt from her childhood. Alexandra tried so hard for her people, but she was never born to rule, and the wrong people took advantage of her. Her and Nicky wanted a peaceful, simple life for their family. It was so awful how her, Nicholas and their children were murdered so brutally

A beautiful woman who gave birth to 4 beautiful daughters. So sad how it all ended.
The tragedy in her eyes was for her son who suffered excruciating pain when unwell. The Russian nobility were rather brutal. This doesn’t justify how it ended but you can’t live in luxury while your people starve and expect a good outcome.
I'm lucky to find this comment. I cannot understand why so much people admire the tsars... Is it because of the great anti-communistic propaganda of the USA? Tsarism was in no way better than the Stalinism.
It was an autocratic monarchy. Very brutal to the poor, but they lived in opulence.
@@ingenuity168 Nikki and Alix weren't born to be rulers or leaders of a huge vast empire
He would prefer to live in the countryside with his wife and children rather than to be the czar and he was a very weak one
@@anastasiaisabella7354 Right. Bad fate. Born at the wrong time and place.
@@ingenuity168 and also he never want to be czar
she was so delicate and beautiful, she reminds me of my mother's mother as a young woman
She is a prime example of how money cannot buy happiness. She had a fairytale life when looking at her photos. In the end, it was worth nothing. She is a tragic figure. She was naive and made silly choices. But she was not bad or evil. She really is a tragedy. I'm surprised she is not more well known. Far more interesting than Marie Antoinette in my opinion. RIP Alexandra Feodorovna.❤❤❤❤
Alexandra - Beautiful, sweet and very very Sad. M F.
Sweet?
I would take the Rasputin pictures out. It dishonors her memory.
Disrespectful pictures of her and rasputin...
The Zionists have dishonored the whole life of Gregory Rasputin as well as the Tsar family.
Fitzroi who ? your mother ? and you’re the living proof of that
Agreed. That is just tasteless propaganda and quite unnecessary for a video such as this I'd say.
@Fitzroi you know absolutely nothing.
Очень красивая женщина
Да, такой императрицей можно только гордиться.
One of histories most tragic women in my opinion. She appeared like she had it all. She was living the fairytale. Except her life was far from the fairytale images and she had the furthest thing from a fairytale ending. RIP Empress Alexandra.
👏👏👏hermosisimo video... Triste la historia, verdad?.. Gracias!!
Alexandra had such a sad life. Even in the few images where she smiles there is such sadness and loneliness in her eyes. Nicholas and Alexandra were so isolated from not only reality of the world, but from family too. They had no hope for survival.
Alexandra was sad because she blamed herself for her son's hemophilia. This she had inherited from her grandmother, Queen Victoria of England. She blamed herself daily for this and worried that at any moment her son could bleed and die!
But Alexi was born last. Why was she so sad in all the years before his birth ? And the illness was not discovered until he was 2 years old.
"A sad life" ? "Sadness and loneliness in her eyes" ? Why ? What was wrong with her life as a child ? Is there evidence that as a child she was unloved , passed over, neglected, emotionally abused ?
@@petercrossley2956 Alix lost her mother at a very early age, having her toys burnt in order to prevent contagion. Then she marries Nicholas II, the love of her life...but is forced to go to a court where she isn't very welcome due to her German origins. That, and that her shy and awkward personality didn't grant her many sympathies on the Russian court, along with being constantly compared with Empress Maria, her mother in law, who was the very opposite in personality: easygoing and extroverted.
Later, Alexandra tries to give birth to a son, after a succession of daughters, and she does, but Alexei is an haemophiliac.
@@jorgebersabe293 She also lost a sister that she was very close to few weeks before she lost her mother.
Боже,храни Царицу!
Poor Alexandra. She was much misunderstood and maligned. I found out recently that she organized and set up 85 hospitals in Russia during the war. Think about that for a minute and all that must entail. Also, she put on many charity bazaars in the Crimea for tuberculosis patients. She really did a lot for the Russian people.
She did more hurt than good.
@@murph8837 Said hurt included living in luxury while her people starved.
Elizabeth F. I must disagree. Alexandra only had to instruct others in setting up the hospitals. The Tzar was stupid and his wife was controlling. Too many relatives and everyone wanting power. The children had no concept of ordinary life. You can’t be a ruling family and not understand your people. It would have been so easy to change. The entire tragedy was avoidable.
@@bar10ml44 In fact, Nicholas II should have been better as a constitutional monarch, he had the aptitudes for it. To be an autocrat, you need a certain strength of character, a quality Nicholas didn't possess.
Nice video. Some beautiful photographs of her with a smile! Sad you included the Rasputin caractures though. It takes away from the charm of the video.
Tragic beauty. Eternally appealing to friend and foe.
AngelGirl WHAT'S THE " MOTIVATION " AS TO BRINGING UP THE PAST , PERTAINING TO THE DECIMATION OF THE ENTIRE FAMILY , THE ROMANOVS ? WHAT ARE WE BENEFITING FROM THIS ? I CANNOT PASS JUDGEMENT AS TO WHY THEY WERE KILLED , OR BEARING FALSE WITNESS AGAINST ANYONE , WAS I THERE TO HAVE WITNESS WITH MY VERY OWN EYES , AND OR A HEARSAY ?
old painting too much wonderful...enjoy
Muito bom 👍👍👍
This most beautiful video of collection.
One of my favorite pieces of music! 💕
Most beautiful woman at oll ages.
Rest in Peace .🌹
Tsarina Alexandra and Tsar Nicholas were a Gemini and Taurean combination as was Queen Elizabeth ll and Prince Philip.
Those aren't her best pictures, she looked way better than that. Those pictures don't do her enough justice.
Nicolas II loves her so much
Loved
Rasputin did too.
@@TheDONing1 no, he didn't. Nicolas loved but it finished when aleksei was born.
old paintings always better than photos.... they are alive..so I can't ask for more
Beautiful
As the end approached, she looked so sad and pensive. Almost like she knew what was coming. The "Sunny" girl who played at Balmoral disappeared completely.
This is a wonderful tribute, the music is perfect. Well done!
+J Naqe thank you!
I can see the light of life drain from her face as the years of turmoil pass by. Don't judge her so harshly,,,,She only was looking out for her family. I can't even imagine trying to walk in her shoes.
May their Memories Be Eternal! AMIN!+++
Did you really have to mention those Rasputin pictures?
That family certainly had a sense of humor. I cant picture HRH QVs' family doing any of those silly poses, even for their family albums.
life always short but they try to let me enjoy their living...short but also forever sweet and unforgettable meaning inside as this piano mix with violin song
Слава Богу !.....и, благодарность всем !..../я , вижу своих родных /......с любовью Надежда / 2021г.май.
May their souls RIP.
She was very beautiful when she was young... RIP your magesty..
She didn't age well.
Anyway I like the gorgeous pictures of that time.
Sweet Empress RIP with your family
Las fotos obscenas no deben manchar fotos tan bonitas ni manchar el honor de la familia imperial esas sobran gracias me duele que las han puesto
La photo avec sa grand-mère Victoria m a particulièrement touchée. Sa famille aurait dû la sauver elle et le tsar Nicolas et leurs enfants.
Damn!.........that was sad.....
Bellissima
oh i see two body guards very beautiful and birds stand on top of them
Can you please make Woman and Time Empress Eugenie of France also known Eugènie de montijo or Empress Eugenie of France in 5th May 1826 - 1920 and her parents too this is a photo what she look like.
Thank you very much for the idea! I will definitely do it.
although he was an integral piece to their downfall, Rasputin did not necessarily have to be included in this gallery of pictures of the imperial family..
I cannot blame the Tsarina for grasping at any type of healing being offered for her son, but this guy was a THUG..
some say the family got what they deserved, I'm still debating that one with myself and circumstances I have read of the last years demise of the dynasty..
I guess you could say the tragedy started the day her grandmother was born..no Queen Victoria, no granddaughter Alix, but this is what writes history..
Beautiful music, wonderful images, heartbreaking tale..
She was unfortunately partly to blame for such a demise of the family. Having strong influence on her husband, stregthening his fear of losing power and his idea or becoming a martyr. She was stubborn and having very little reason. Very bad influence on Nickolai.
Agree.
Eine wunderschöne Frau, wie ihre Töchter ! Möge sie und ihre Familie ewigen.Frieden gefunden haben.
she is the most beautiful queen even my favor grace kelly of Monaco is the second beauty
I feel sorry for the children - less for the parents . Would have been a lovely ordinary family - but this couple were totally incompetent as rulers of an outdated system of government.
Ya, but being royalty doesn't make they more deserving then others. Plus lot of history don't know what she did behind the scenes.
Plus, I don't think they needed this. But people for get how she did run the show, and Nicky's mom and Alex had him pussy whipped. She was rather tough, and turned the other cheek when Bloody Sunday happened, telling Nicky it wasn't his fault. When it was. he wanted to go say sorry and be with his people, to fix it. As a king does, but she all "NO!" Their people blamed Nicky and wanted him, when his crime was he was pussy whipped she never been their ruler, but Alex called shots. So she kind of dig her own grave.
I was APPALLED to see that this video included those nasty drawings of the royal couple with Rasputin. WTF????? I suppose it wasn't enough to humiliate them in 1918, but to use the latest technology do so now...HERE...100 years later? DISGUSTING!!!!
Alix was a beautiful woman, but she always looked sad, almost as if she knew what their fate would be. May they all rest in peace.❤️
The interesting part is that they are all related
Beautiful women
they are fresh ..they are alive to me
May they REST WITH GOD !
Хотелось бы видеть такое же посвящение британской королевской семье, и фото Доди Аль-Файеда трогающего грудь Диане
Can you make a video of Brigitte Bardot, Danielle Darrieux or Anne Vernon please (if it's possible of course) ?
Sorry for my bad english but i'm french 😊
+Llo Lla of course I can. Brigitte is my next favorite.😉
WOMEN and TIME Thank you very munch 😊
Natalie wood too
She really was a beautiful girl when she was young Too bad she's not smiling in most of these photos.She had a difficult life after her son was born and you can see it in her face. Very sad.
Los dibujos con Rasputin estan fuera de lugar. Falta el respeto. Estoy segura que la zarina jamas tuvo un affair con el, amaba a Nicolas de manera inexplicable. La historia que se cuenta no es la verdadera. Talvez algun dia salga todo a la luz , solo por voluntad Divina. Hermosa familia! RIP. Peace with you!
Es obvio que el affair con Rasputín es mentira, siendo propaganda bolchevista. Pero se ha puesto aquí porque debe contarse la historia tal y como pasó, sin excepciones.
something is forever...only photos can tell me and show me
She looked like Tatiana but Tatiana, I think, had her father’s eyes.
Tatiana had grey eyes like her mother.

She looks alot like her daughter anastasia in her pictures when she was young..
She was a great beauty in the young days, but got older before it was meant. Maybe the burden of her son and his disease
you are so cute Aleksandra
мои родные и близкие
the first baby is a true beauty after she is full-grown... it's a shame she can't survive... that is why I always say murders not only blind but also deaf...my dogs and cats all birds are wiser than they did
Poor Alix 😪
Ohhh always thought she was one of Victoria's daughters...
Actually she is Queen Victoria's granddaughter through her daughter Alice, thus making her a cousin of George V, Wilhelm II, Victoria Eugenia of Spain and so on.
Music?
Can you do one of Catherine The Great?😀
i guess i have to learn their language soon or later
Great video, but it goes through the pictures too fast.
You could change the speed of the video in its settings.
Thank you! I didn’t realize that you could do that.
Alexandra always seemed to have a somber and unhappy look to her in photos. I think she was very antisocial and introverted. May God rest her soul.
She quite look like Maria Skłodowska Curie
Agata Łapińska hahaha she doesn't
i think her sad smile may have been a family thing they were all so inbred her life before she had alexei was very very happy she and the tsar were so in love ive heard there letters to each other they were very sweet and loving she was the one who encouraged him to be hard which led to their downfall which is so sad
I agree. Some people have an angry resting face, some sad, some neutral . I have a neutral resting face and my sister has an angry resting face. She always looks slightly bothered about something and is constantly asked what is wrong when nothing is. She is actually good humored lol.
Здравствуйте. Я правнук Анастасии, дочери царя Николаяll
You shod remove the photos with Rasputin... It dishonors the Empress
She dishonored herself.
They not deserve to die specially to there childrens, i hope that in heaven there sousl have meet and all of the person who destroy the family romanov regret there sin to them
nice things mean forever ....only photos can let me know answers even they still alive
Probably throughout her life she many not have felt well. She was quite ill equipped to be and empress. She and Nicholas refused to see the sweeping changes coming. Theylived their lives in a splendor that tried to insulate from the effects of the French Revolution. They did not listen to Rasputin who warned of the coming Great War and howbackward and unready to fight it was Russia. His warning, of course, became the realityand the ultimate end of empire and royal family.
И в час народного гоненья, когда ограбят нас враги, сносить чужое поношенье
Тосподь. О. Боже помоги.так писала великая княжна. Ольга.
Alix and Nicholas and their children did not deserve to be murdered, may they rest in peace
And also Elisabeth (Alix's older sister and Nicholas's uncle Sergei's wife) also did not deserve this she was a good person who did everything for the Russian Orthodox Church, may she rest in peace
mélancolique
Can you make Catherine the Great?
Of course! I am going to do her.
She was more incompetent, blind and misguided tHan her husband which is saying something. She surpasses Marie Antoinette in selfishness but at least the Queen of France got a trial. She was murdered not because she didn't deserve the punishment of death for her injustices and incompetence but because she was not given a trial.
Politically I understand why her children were murdered but it was an act of brutality.
Yes, I've noticed a lot of videos deifying the Romanovs. Their end was bad, but folk are forgetting what led up to it. The irony of Nicholas it seems is that he was a weak autocrat....
What if the Romanov family is the Royal family of England. They produced many beautiful children in their bloodlines up to now.
