Tsarina Alexandra posing in Tsar Nicholas II's uniform, 1896
The young Tsarina posing in her husband's Preobrazhensky uniform, with a cigarette.



The Tsar was coronated in May 1896 wearing the uniform of the Preobrazhensky Life Guards Regiment (slide 6), of which Nicholas II was a colonel, founded in 1690 by Tsar Peter (Pyotr) I. The uniform, alongside the coronation dress worn by Alexandra, have survived and have been beautifully preserved.
The photographs are from Tsar Nicholas’s 1896 diary preserved by GARF, and shared by George Hawkins in ‘Alexandra Feodorovna: Diaries and Correspondence: Volume III The Young Empress 1895 - 1905’
An illustration of Nicholas II wearing the Preobrazhensky uniform, published in the French publication Le monde illustré in 1901

Ludwig IV and Tatiana Nikolaevna: Grandfather and Granddaughter. They never met, as he passed before she was born. She resembles him a lot in my opinion 🤍

The more elevated a person is, the sooner that person should help everyone and never in fellowship remind everyone of their position. My children should be like that.
Nicholas II

I pray that Christ the Xmax King may stoop to bless, and guide you day to day holiness, Your friend in joy, Your comfort in distress, I pray that every cloud may lead you to the light, and He may raise you up from height to height, Himsef the Day-Star of your darkest night; I pray that the Christ before whose Crib you bend the knee, may fill your longing soul abundantly, with grace to follow him möre perfectly. 1917 Tobolsk - Alexandra

Nicky, Alix and Ella
