Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna : ウィキペディア英語版
Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia

Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia ((ロシア語:Ксения Александровна Романова); 6 April 1875 – 20 April 1960) was the elder daughter of Emperor Alexander III of Russia and Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia (née Princess Dagmar of Denmark) and the sister of Emperor Nicholas II. She married her second cousin Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich of Russia, with whom she had seven children. During her brother's reign she recorded in her diary and letters increasing concern about his rule. After the fall of the monarchy in February 1917 she fled Russia, eventually settling in the United Kingdom.
==Early life==

Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna was born on 6 April 1875 at Anichkov Palace in St. Petersburg.〔Van der Kiste and Hall, p.4〕 She was the fourth child and elder daughter among the six children of Alexander III of Russia and his wife Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia (née Princess Dagmar of Denmark).
After the assassination of her grandfather Tsar Alexander II of Russia, when Xenia was 6 years old, her father Alexander III ascended to the Russian throne. It was a difficult political time, plagued with terrorist threats and for security reasons Alexander III moved with his family from the Winter Palace to Gatchina Palace. Xenia and her siblings were raised mostly there with simplicity.〔Van der Kiste and Hall, p.11〕
As a child, Xenia was a tomboy and was very shy.
Xenia, like her brothers, received her education from private tutors. A special emphasis was laid on the study of foreign languages.〔Van der Kiste and Hall, p.12〕
Apart from her native Russian, Xenia studied English, French and German. Xenia learnt cookery, joinery and making puppets and their clothes for their theatre. She also enjoyed riding and fishing in the nearby river on the Gatchina estate,〔Van der Kiste and Hall, p.18〕 drawing, gymnastics, dancing and playing the piano.〔
Her entire family enjoyed family holidays at the home of her Danish maternal grandparents, Fredensborg Castle.〔Van der Kiste and Hall, p.15〕 It was on such a visit that she met her cousin and lifelong friend, Princess Marie of Greece, daughter of King George I of Greece and his Russian born wife, Queen Olga. The Danish composer, Valdemar Vater, paid Xenia a tribute by writing the 'Polka Mazurka'.〔Van der Kiste and Hall, p.17〕
