What reading level is Queen Alexandra a Study in Royalty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The position of the young Empress was not an enviable one. Ignorant of the language and the customs of the country to which she had come, she was unable to adapt herself to her new surroundings. Too proud to seek popularity, she resented the adverse criticism to which her shy and reserved nature exposed her. By tactlessness, which was mistaken for arrogance, she turned possible sympathisers into enemies. Her failure to supply the Throne with an heir still further increased her mortification. Un...happy and ailing, she became a prey to a morbid melancholy, and lived isolated and a stranger in the midst of the glittering Court in which she should have been at once supreme and honoured.
In the meantime the influence of the Empress Marie over her son was strengthened by the mere contrast of her popularity with her daughter-in- law's insignificance. It was she who reigned, whom all courted, and to whom Nicholas himself, devoted son that he was, turned for sympathy and advice. How great this influence was none knew better than the unfortunate Czarina.
