Maria was apparently expected to be the wife of Lord Louis Mountbatten, so in England we would have grown very familiar with her. I fear Queen Victoria was right in her severe doubts about the liaison between Nicholas and Alexandra - I think Nicholas was probably the most charming man; but if EVER a man was unsuited to a job it was him, and especially with the fast changing times. The world was rolling rapidly into the 20th century but the Romanovs' were firmly stuck in the past and never mind about Nicholas NOT seeing it, he DIDN'T WANT to see it!
The family was planning to escape Russia before they were ever imprisoned but the children fell sick. If only that illness never happened, then the family would've probably never been murdered!
Yes, the Provisional Government had asked the British govt to receive them and they got the measles, then when they recovered, it was hard to leave, "politically" as well as the danger of a train going through Petersburg to Murmansk. See Kenneth Rose's book on the reaction of King George to the news.
It's a wonder all these items were saved from being destroyed. Glad they were saved
