It would seem, what could be more romantic: fall in love, live your whole life together and die on the same day? But life is actually much more prosaic than romance novels, which describe the ideal relationship. The famous couples, which we will talk about today, met death together, but whether they wished for such an end to life is unknown.

Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna

Rarely does anyone have as many trials as the last Russian emperor and his family had to endure. From the very beginning, the union of Nicholas II and Alissa of Hesse-Darmstadt (real name Alexandra Feodorovna) did not like the entourage of both the young man and the girl. The father of the heir to the throne, Alexander III, only on his deathbed approved the marriage of his son. The English Queen Victoria was not thrilled with the choice of her granddaughter. But the lovers nevertheless got married, but they still had to defend their right to happiness. The people did not accept the foreign wife of the emperor. Moreover, the reason for indignation appeared already during the coronation of Nicholas II: the "Khadynskaya crush" darkened the honeymoon of the crowned persons. The close ones considered Romanov's wife haughty and cold. Later, they were unhappy with the strong influence Alexandra Feodorovna had over her husband. Remember only her favorites Philip and Grigory Rasputin.

But be that as it may, Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna lived together for 24 years, they had 5 children: 4 daughters and a son who suffered from hemophilia - a disease characterized by incoagulability of blood. There is no doubt that the couple loved each other. They devoted a lot of time to children, wrote touching letters in separation. On July 17, 1918, the entire family of Nicholas II, including his children, were shot by the Bolsheviks without trial or investigation in Yekaterinburg.

Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun

The most controversial couple of the 20th century, even during his lifetime, became the most discussed. It would seem that the cruel and cynical Fuhrer was not capable of love. But when he met 17-year-old Eva Braun at the age of 40 in a photo studio where she worked as an assistant, he did not part with her until the last minutes of his life.

Yes, their relationship was difficult to call perfect. The lovers spent almost all their time together, traveling, going to the cinema. But at the same time, Hitler continued to take Geli Raubal with him to official events, whom, according to him, he loved. Eva knew about this, as, indeed, about the fact that her lover had other novels on the side, but she continued to be faithful to her Fuehrer. And even when he began to grow cold towards her, Brown still did not betray him and even tried several times to commit suicide.

True, once she did not do what he asked her: she did not leave Berlin, but returned to Hitler, although she knew that the end was near. And only then Adolf appreciated the loyalty of his friend and proposed to her. But they only stayed as husband and wife for one day. On April 30, 1945, the lovers voluntarily passed away by taking poison.

Bonnie and Clyde

It is customary to surround the criminals who operated in America in the 30s with an aura of romance. How many books have been written and filmed about a crazy couple. Although, in fact, she was not as harmless as it is commonly believed.

Young people met at one of the parties. Interestingly, Bonnie was married, but had not lived with her husband for a long time. The hasty marriage at the age of 15 did not last long, but the girl and her husband never formalized the divorce. Moreover, she never brought a tattoo with the name of her former chosen one, besides, she continued to wear a wedding ring until the end of her life.

Bonnie and Clyde immediately fell in love with each other, and a mutual passion for adventure and danger led them to decide to act together. At first, their actions were relatively harmless: the couple robbed small shops and gas stations. But later Bonnie decided that it was time to get down to serious business, and then more serious robberies, car thefts and even murders and a raid on the prison were used, as a result of which several criminals were free.

The gangsters could not be caught for a long time, because they always managed to escape. But 4 years after they met, the lovers were ambushed by a police. About 160 bullets were fired at the car in which Bonnie and Clyde were, 60 of them hit the girl, 50 - the guy.

Carolyn Bessett-Kennedy and John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr

John F. Kennedy's son and publicist for Calvin Klein were one of the most beautiful and stylish couples of the late 20th century. The relationship of young people began in 1994, and they got married two years later. From the very beginning of the novel, the lovers became a cherished target for the press, which even kept watch at the door of their house in order to savor the details of life later. But the young people managed to hide a modest wedding from the paparazzi.

However, after the wedding, the attention of journalists to the Kennedy couple only increased. Carolyn was worried about this and complained that she could not even get a job because she was accused of using the connections of an influential spouse. And later, disagreements began between the spouses. Kennedy Jr. did not understand why his beloved did not want to have children. She, in turn, also accumulated a lot of complaints against her husband: she complained that he did not pay attention to her at all.

It is difficult to say whether a married couple could overcome their differences, but fate decreed in its own way. In July 1999, the spouse flew on a private jet to the wedding of Robert Kennedy's daughter. Carolyn's older sister was with them. John was an experienced pilot, so he sat at the helm himself. But, perhaps due to the low poor visibility, the man lost control and the plane fell into the ocean. No one managed to survive this catastrophe.

Valery Kharlamov and Irina Smirnova

One of the most famous domestic hockey players met his future wife by chance. On that day, he and his friends were having fun in one of the capital's restaurants. There was also 19-year-old Irina, who came to celebrate her friend's birthday. It is interesting that the girl did not recognize the famous athlete in the handsome guy, but took him for a taxi driver.

The lovers soon began to live together, their son Sasha was born. Once, returning home, the spouses were in a car accident: Kharlamov recovered for a long time after numerous injuries, but was able to return to the ice. And later, the couple had a daughter, Begonita.

At the end of August 1981, Valery, Irina and her cousin Sergei were returning from their dacha. At first, Kharlamov himself was driving, but then his wife moved to the driver's seat. She had no license, and the driving experience was small. Moreover, the road was slippery after the rain. A few minutes after the start of the journey, Irina lost control, jumped into the oncoming lane and crashed into a truck. All three who were in the car were killed.

Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed

The queen of human hearts all her life dreamed of finding simple female happiness. It would seem that by marrying the heir to the English throne, Prince Charles, she pulled out a lucky ticket. But the tale of Cinderella became a nightmare. The husband could not forget his love for Camilla Parker-Bowles, and Diana, realizing that it was useless to fight for love, dropped her hands. The divorce of the crowned persons took place in 1996.

Despite the fact that Diana had no end to her fans, she was not able to find happiness right away. A few months after the divorce, she met the Egyptian billionaire Dodi Al-Fayed. The relationship between them developed rapidly, but the lovers tried to protect their personal lives from excessive press attention, which they did not always succeed.

So on the last day of the summer of 1997, a couple who spent time in Paris tried to get rid of the paparazzi. But their driver, who was racing at full speed, lost control. Dodi died immediately, Diana - two hours after the accident. Only the princess's bodyguard managed to survive. And the driver was found guilty of the accident, in whose blood an amount of alcohol was found three times higher than the permissible norm. The high speed and the fact that the passengers were not wearing seat belts played a role in this tragedy.

Stefan Zweig and Charlotte Altman

The Austrian writer did not immediately find personal happiness. His first wife was Maria von Winternitz. Their marriage lasted 18 years, but cracked. But a year passed, and Zweig married again. His chosen one was his secretary Charlotte Altmann.

Hitler soon came to power, and Stephen, who did not share the views of the Nazis, left Austria. Initially, the couple lived in London, then moved to New York, and later moved to Rio de Janeiro.

But forced travel, terrible events in the world, and homesickness plunged Zweig into depression. Memoirs "Yesterday's World" he devoted precisely to these experiences. Unable to come to terms with what was happening, the writer decided to leave this world. Charlotte followed. The lovers, who had taken a lethal dose of barbiturates, were found on the bed, holding hands. They left their suicide letters on the table, in which they explained their act.
