It was announced in today's Court Circular that Queen Victoria will travel to Darmstadt in April where she will meet Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra of Russia, the Emperor and Empress of Germany, the Dowager Empress of Germany, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland.

Marlene, it seems to me that QV didn`t visit Darmstadt in 1895. Or , at least, she didn`t meet her granddaughter Alix and her family in 1895. She met her only in 1896, during the imperial couple`s vsit to England. Am I right?
It was announced today that Victoria would go to Darmstadt in April ... just an announcement.
However, she did arrive in Darmstadt from Nice, stopping in Karlsruhe, and arrived in Darmstadt on April 25. She returned on the 30th. Nicholas and Alexandra did not come to Darmstadt, probably due to her pregnancy.
I wasn`t sure about her visit to Darmstadt but I WAS sure that QV and Alexandra Feodorovna`s meeting took place only in 1896 due to the tzarina`s pregnancy.thanks
