imperial-russia: Grand Duchess Victoria Fyodorovna with daughters Princesses Maria and Kyra Ducky and Kirill remained supremely happy in their marriage. They loved being together as much as possible and arranged their days to maximize their time together. A quiet home life seemed to bring the greatest gratification to both of them. … Adding to their happiness was their close bond with Marie and Kira. According to their admiring aunt Missy, or Maddy, as they had come to call her, the girls “had everything on earth of which human children could dream.” Missy called them “two splendid children, well-grown, solid, with lovely hair and perfect skin and as superlatively groomed as English ponies.” M.J.
