This report was published in the Danish newspaper Sorø Amts Dagblad in Slagelse, Denmark on July 27, 1918, ten days after Alexandra was murdered with her family; the report claims that Alexandra was spared and is consequently a widow.
The report:
En tragisk Kvindeskikkelse.
—

Ruslands tidligere Kejserinde er 46 Aar gl., født Prinsesse af Hessen, Svigerinde til Prins Heinrich af Prøjsen og Kusine til den engelske Konge. For Tiden er hun en fattig Enke uden Hjem och Fædreland.
English translation (my own):
A Tragic Woman's Figure.
—
Widowed Empress Alexandra of Russia, for whose fate nourishes anxiety in Berlin and London, as well as at our royal house. Russia's former Empress is 46 years old, born Princess of Hesse, sister-in-law of Prince Heinrich of Prussia and cousin of the English King. For the time being, she is a poor widow without a home and fatherland.
