  Maria Alexandrovna of Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia (17 October 1853–24 October 1920), later the Duchess of Edinburgh and then the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was a daughter of Alexander II of Russia and his first Empress consort Marie of Hesse.
Maria became the wife of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, the second son of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
For her part, the new Duchess of Edinburgh apparently resented the fact that the Princess of Wales, who was the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, took precedence over her, the daughter of the Russian Tsar.

 SBPL Book Review
Nicholas was first and foremost a family man. His mother Maria Feodorvna, the former Sophie of Wurttemberg and Catherine the Great's daughter-in-law, had an indelible influence on her large brood.
But it is his wife, tsaritsa Maria Alexandrovna, the former Marie of Hesse-Darmstadt, who is credited with pushing for the liberal reforms of his reign.
Maria Alexandrovna's health declined and although she and Alexander continued to be devoted to their children and grandchildren, Alexander became smitten with a young student from the Smolny (a school for ladies of noble lineage) whom he married after the tsaritsa's death.
