Excellent!

He was Tsar Nicholas II, shy, handsome ruler of one-sixth of the earth and more than 120 million Russian people. She was Alix, the golden-haired German princess. Deeply in love, a perfect storybook couple, they presided over a glittering world of opulent palaces, lavish balls, and incomparable luxury. Then their cherished son Alexis was born.
