I don’t want to go on the psychological path either but to see her son so sick because of “her” it must have been terrible for her emotionally. However perhaps her character would have been less neurotic, less worrisome and her health a bit better. Yes Alexandra would still be a very private person and would have sought the same cocooning lifestyle that she actually led. I’m not a big fan of what if in history but surely without the illness of Alexei a lot would have been different. You are going to say “like any other” and of course you are right but in Alix’s case to say the odds were against her is an understatement. The context and the hazards of life played a key role in shaping Alexandra. Was she really? Okay I’m going to play the devil’s advocate.
