King George V's role in the withdrawal of an asylum offer was
covered up. Britain refused to allow any Grand Dukes to come to
England, a fact that is rarely explored. When Russia erupted into
revolution, almost overnight the pampered lifestyle of the Imperial
family vanished. Within months many of them were under arrest and
they became 'enemies of the Revolution and the Russian people'. All
showed great fortitude and courage during adversity. None of them
wanted to leave Russia; they expected to be back on their estates
soon and to live as before. When it became obvious that this was
not going to happen a few managed to flee but others became
dependent on their foreign relatives for help. For those who failed
to escape, the questions remain. Why did they fail? What did their
relatives do to help them? Were lives sacrificed to save other
European thrones? After thirty-five years researching and writing
about the Romanovs, Coryne Hall considers the end of the
300-year-old dynasty - and the guilt of the royal families in
Europe over the Romanovs' bloody end. Did the Kaiser do enough? Did
George V? When the Tsar's cousins King Haakon of Norway and King
Christian of Denmark heard of Nicholas's abdication, what did they
do? Unpublished diaries of the Tsar's cousin Grand Duke Dmitri give
a new insight to the Romanovs' feelings about George V's
involvement.
