“At thirteen, poor Anastasia began getting rather lumpy - in spite of all the exercise she took. She was also much shorter than her sisters and quite unaccountably lost all interest in her studies. Her teachers called it laziness. But I am not so sure. I think books as books never said much to her. She wanted to come to grips with life. I know there were many things that troubled her. She hated the Cossack escort always accompanying their outings and so on, but none of it marred her gaiety. That is how I remember her - brimming with life and mischief and laughing so often - sometimes for no reason at all, which is the best kind of laughter. The child was the gayest Romanov of her generation and she had a heart of gold.”

- Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna.

The Russian Tiara in 'Anastasia'

The tiara that Maria Feodorovna gives to Anastasia actually existed and was called the “Russian tiara”.

According to legend, the “Russian tiara” was part of the jewelry collection that Maria Feodorovna (left) did not want to give to the new empress Alexandra Feodorovna (right), who was Anastasia's mother, despite tradition.

This, however, did not prevent Alexandra Feodorovna from having a “Russian tiara” specially made for her.

The fate of the two tiaras belonging to the last empresses of the Russian Empire is unknown.

Anya being super clingy w/ Dimitri in Paris while he’s having a mental crisis about her being his lost princess is so chaotic and sad to me.
