Princess May convinced him to go back with her to the house where Prince Geore took his temperature and sent him to bed.The next day, his birthday, it was notorious for everyone that Prince Eddy had caught influnza too.

 Nicholas and Alexandra: Their lives, their family, and St. Petersburg
Princess Alix of Hesse was judged by the people of St. Petersburg from the days of her first visits.
Knowing that Alix was a minor German princess and desiring a more favorable match for their son, Alexander III and Maria proposed a union between their son and Princess Helene of France, hoping for an alliance between Russia and France.
Nicholas didn't have any desire to marry Princess Helene, which was just as well because she refused to convert to Orthodoxy (which would have been necessary in order for her to join the Romanov dynasty), as did another potential bride, Princess Margaret of Prussia after that (Massie 27-28, 32).

Until the birth of a son to Nicky and his bride, Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt, Georgiy, the middle brother between Nicky and myself, was the Heir Tsesarevich.
Alix hated the idea, and Nicky was none too pleased either: "No no!" he said, "Misha will get everything into a mess -- he is so easily imposed upon." One could argue that much the same thing could be said of Nicky himself, but that is neither here nor there.
Nicky and Alix read about our imprisonment while they themselves were imprisoned at Tobolsk, and I hear were dreadfully afraid for us, forgetting their dislike of Natasha amidst the danger.
