Maria's eldest son became the last Russian monarch, Emperor Nicholas II. Maria lived for 10 years after Bolshevik functionaries killed Nicholas and his immediate family in 1918. Dagmar was known for her beauty. Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge said that Dagmar was "sweetly pretty" and commented favorably on her splendid dark eyes.
Her fiancee Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich was enthusiastic about her beauty. He wrote to his mother that she is even prettier in real life than in the portraits that we had seen so far. Her eyes speak for her: they are so kind, intelligent, animated.
When considering Dagmar for her second son Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Queen Victoria judged that Dagmar is cleverer [than her older sister, Alexandra]... She is a very nice girl. When she married, she didn't know how to speak any Russian. However, within a few years, she mastered the language and was so proficient that her husband wrote to her in Russian.
She told an American minister to Russia that the Russian language is full of power and beauty, it equals the Italian in music, the English in vigorous power and copiousness. " She claimed that "for compactness of expression, " Russian rivaled "Latin, and for the making of new words is equal to the Greek. John Logan, a visitor to Russia, described her as the best dressed woman in Europe.
" He claimed that Empress Elisabeth of Austria "excelled her in beauty" but that "no one touched" her "in frocks. Charles Frederick Worth, a Parisian couturier, greatly admired her style. He said, Bring to me any woman in Europe-- queen, artiste, or bourgeoise-- who can inspire me as does Madame Her Majesty, and I will make her confections while I live and charge her nothing.
