The article:

The topic most discussed in St. Petersburg is the approaching marriage of the Grand Duchess Olga to the young Grand Duke Dmitri. The wedding is to be a very brilliant affair, followed by a state ball at which the elite of Russian and foreign society will be present. It is in every respect a love match.

The birth of the Tsarevich minimized the position of Princess Olga, dynastically, for which she is exceedingly thankful. But for the coming of her little brother she would have been doomed to mate some royalty of the first rank within the families of European reigning houses and outside of the immediate Muscovite circle.
