"'Several of us went together with my mother [Empress Maria Feodorovna] and Aunt Alix [Princess Alexandra of Wales]. That afternoon my mother wore a big hat, in broad brim trimmed with very bright red cherries…'
The Empress and her sister stopped to look at a chimpanzee. The ape liked the look of the cherries. He pushed his arms through the bars and snatched at the hat, but an elastic held it secure to the Empress's head. The ape yelled and pulled harder. The Empress screamed and pulled in her turn. The Princess of Wales seized her by the waist and began pulling in her turn. In the end, the chimpanzee, deciding that a handful of cherries was hardly worth such a lot of trouble, let go [of] the hat so violently that the elastic snapped, the hat flew off the Empress's head and settled in the cap of a passer by."

Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia was the youngest child of Emperor Alexander III of Russia. Her older brother was Tsar Nicholas II.
She was raised at the Gatchina Palace outside Saint Petersburg. Olga's relationship with her mother, Empress Marie, the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, was strained and distant from childhood. In contrast, she and her father were close. He died when she was 12, and her brother Nicholas became emperor.
In 1901, she married Duke Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg, who was privately believed by family and friends to be homosexual. Their marriage of 15 years remained unconsummated, and Peter at first refused Olga's request for a divorce. The couple led separate lives and their marriage was eventually annulled by the Emperor in October 1916. The following month Olga married cavalry officer Nikolai Kulikovsky, with whom she had fallen in love several years before.
