The image captured in 1914 portrays her tenderly caring for those who had sacrificed so much for their homeland, and is a testament to her selflessness and dedication to alleviating suffering. The Winter Palace's workroom became a sanctuary for Princess Alix, where she poured her heart into various charitable endeavors. Here, surrounded by opulent fabrics and delicate embroideries, she tirelessly worked towards improving the lives of those less fortunate. In 1909, two royal families united when Princess Alix married Tsar Nicholas II.

Yet amidst these joyous moments lay shadows that would haunt Princess Alix forever.
