GD Olga wanted to live in Denmark whereas GD Xenia didn't.
Olga, her husband and two young sons chose to stay at Hvidoere
outside Copenhagen with the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna
( Dagmar). Olga looked after her mother in the last years of her life.

George V granted the dowager empress an annual amount from his
private means. This was no doubt also backed by Queen Alexandra.

From 1918, George V would have to live with the fact that he
turned a blind eye - or rather was forced to turn a blind eye by
Lord Stamfordham - to the fate of his beloved cousin in Russia,
It must have been very painful for him, and at least he
was later able to compensate by means of his private allowances.
