OLGA ROMANOV: CHRISTMAS CARD, 1906
Mrs. Margaretta Eagar, who had been the Romanov children’s governess since 1898, remembered one particular Christmas when the little grand duchesses were so delighted to see their mother gorgeously attired for a holiday ceremony. They circled around her in speechless admiration when suddenly the Grand Duchess Olga clapped her hands, and exclaimed fervently, “Oh! Mama, you are just like a lovely Christmas tree!”
