Well, almost in my backyard is the last residence of this Russian imperial descendant that I thought might be of interest to readers.

What I found interesting was that she was so innocent of the ways of the world, that nobody in her family had the forethought to teach her about money, life, just daily living. How different it is today when royals have children, they had better get careers and jobs, for they know it might not last forever like those royals back then who thought it would last forever.
