Hi,

I think the solution would have been for Nicholas & Alexandra & their children to be granted asylum in Malta. Then, the question of them embarrassingly being in Britain itself would be side-stepped.
The rest of the Romanovs landed in Malta temporarily in 1919 and only the Dowager Empress and Xenia & children were permitted in Britain. Alexander Michaelivich, Nicholas Nicholaiovich & family and Peter Nicholaiovich & family were all sent to France.
I can't remember whether Olga and her tribe ever landed in Britain. I think she went straight to Denmark, where her mother chose to live.
Also, we must remember that Christian X did not particularly want the Romanovs in Denmark either.
So, did he feel "guilt" also, as his English cousin did??
