In celebration of the 151st anniversary of the birth of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, I am pleased to share these heartwarming photos of her as an infant and child.
It was on this day — 6th June 1872 — that Princess Alix Viktoria Helene Luise Beatrix of Hesse and by Rhine [future Empress Alexandra Feodorovna] was born at the New Palace in Darmstadt, a Grand Duchy then part of the German Empire.
