"Princess Alix was twenty and highly marriageable, and gossip began circulating about a possible match between her and the young Prince George, second son of Bertie, Prince of Wales. Three years previously, a surprisingly determined young Alix had vigorously resisted the queen's attempt to marry her off to Bertie's heir, Eddy, Duke of Clarence. Victoria had been extremely put out that Alix, by then in love with Nicky, should turn down the opportunity of being a future queen of the United Kingdom. As the last of the four daughters of the House of Hesse yet to be married, Alix's prospects were hardly the best. Never mind; perhaps she could be persuaded to marry George instead, thought the queen, particularly once the unfortunate Eddy succumbed to pneumonia in January 1892. It didn't work; Alix was adamant, and when George settled instead for Eddy's disconsolate fiancee May of Teck, it soon became evident where Alix's affections were firmly fixed. She only had eyes for the Russian tsarevich. Queen Victoria's anxiety at the prospect of such a marriage mounted. She had been highly mistrustful of Russia since the Crimean War, looking upon Britain's former enemy as 'false' and 'unfriendly' and much of its population 'half oriental'. Russia was "a corrupt country, where you can trust no one." She fired off exhortatory letters to Alix's eldest sister Victoria, demanding she and Ernie intervene to prevent it: "for the younger sister to marry the son of an Emperor — would never answer, and lead to no happiness… The state of Russia is so bad, so rotten that any moment something dreadful might happen."

I cannot lead you into battle.

I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else -

I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.
