Adult life

Maria Feodorovna was pretty, popular and rarely interfered with politics, preferring to devote her time and energies to her family, charities and to the more social side of her position. Her one exception was her militant dislike of Germany, due to the annexation of Danish territories by the newly created German Empire.

Despite the overthrow of the monarchy (1917), the Empress Maria at first refused to leave Russia. Only in 1919, at the urging of her sister Alexandra, did she grudgingly depart, fleeing via Crimea over the Black Sea to London. King George V sent the warship HMS Marlborough to retrieve his aunt. After a brief stay in London, she returned to her native Denmark, choosing her former holiday villa Hvidøre near Copenhagen as her new home. Although Queen Alexandra never treated her sister badly and they spent holidays together in a shared cottage in Great Britain, Maria felt that she was now "number two". 1917 (MCMXVII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar (see link for calendar) or a common year starting on Tuesday of the 13-day slower Julian calendar. ...

Maria's later years were clouded by the deaths of many immediate family members even though she would not acknowledge the massacre of her son's family, and permited any memorial rites to be held in her residence. Her letters to them have since almost all been lost; but in one that survives, she writes to her son, saying, "You know that my thoughts and prayers never leave you. I think of you day and night and sometimes feel so sick at heart that I believe I cannot bear it any longer. But God is merciful. He will give us strength for this terrible ordeal."
