His Imperial Highness Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich of Russia.Most likely in Biarritz (at least in the exteriors) during those years he spent out of Russia “in disgust” after the crew of his ship mutinied. Luckily, he was off the ship tending to a very sick child; his sailors’ plans were to take him hostage. Nicholas II asked him to resign (basically to prevent a member of the ruling family from being kidnapped.) Sandro went ahead and took time off to do some of his favorite things (digging at Ai Todor, playing golf, buying himself new clothing, hats, shoes and attending dinner parties). He also decided to use the time to have a middle age crisis and get himself a mistress. I think that the fact that he decided to do so while Xenia was pregnant with their last child (and felt compelled to tell her) was in extremely poor taste.This is very tongue in cheek…the events took place, but the order may not bear close scrutiny. -- source link
