Notes

Ernest made a secret trip to Russia during World War I to visit his sister, the Tsaritsa Alexandra, and her husband Tsar Nicholas. Although Anna Anderson, the would-be Anastasia, based part of her case on claiming that this secret visit existed, Ernest denied it until his death. Modern historians, however, have recognized that he did make the trip, along with a futile attempt at personal diplomacy to try to settle the war.
