In 2023 we covered Dagmar of Denmark aka Maria Feodorovna and after that we went onto our Patreon to discuss her daughter, Olga. Earlier this week we ran an episode covering the first part of her life, and here we are now covering the second half.

Rabbit holes the size of Russia in this one. We're talking Russian Revolution, Rasputin, and so much more.
