A tale with a sad ending: star couples in which lovers died together
There are sadder stories in the world than the one about Romeo and Juliet. Bonnie and Clyde, Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed and other famous couples who made a sad ending from fairy tales come true-in our material.
Emperor Nicholas II and his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, were brutally shot on the night of July 16-17, 1918, in the private house of the mining engineer Ipatiev.
They lived together for 24 years and were murdered in the basement without trial, along with their five children. It is known that the Emperor and the Empress loved each other dearly. Nikolai was an exemplary family man and a sensitive father.
During their life together, various mysterious signs and events appeared, but both did not want to take superstition to heart. So, on the day of the coronation to the throne, there was a disaster, called the "stampede on the Khodynka field", because of which Nicholas and Alexandra spent the entire honeymoon in charity visits and mourning for the dead and maimed.
Many saw this as a bad omen, but the couple were happily married, despite the bloody events at the dawn of their family life. All the time that they were allowed, they took care of each other and raised their children in an atmosphere of mutual understanding. Nikolai Romanov and Tsarina Alexandra became victims of the events of their time and died side by side, not only as historical figures, but also as two people who loved each other.
The most romanticized criminals of the last century, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, met in the midst of the Great Economic Depression. This happened in 1930, when Bonnie was only 20 years old, and Clyde was a year older.
According to one version, they met at a party in the house of friends and immediately fell in love with each other, becoming the most famous pair of robbers, terrifying all over America.
Clyde was not Bonnie's first man: before him, she managed to marry a classmate at the age of 15, but they soon separated without a formal divorce. Bonnie wore a wedding ring for the rest of her life and had a tattoo on the inside of her thigh with the name of her former lover.
However, it was as if fate had brought them together with Clyde: the gangsters stayed together for four years, until their deaths. Bonnie and Clyde were very young and possessed by a passion for life and danger. They committed a lot of large and small robberies, murders, and even one liberation attack on the prison.
The lovers died in each other's arms on May 23, 1934, when their car was caught in a police raid. It took more than a hundred bullets and four Rangers for Bonnie and Clyde's hearts to stop beating in unison. During their lifetime, they dreamed of being buried together, but Bonnie's family was against it, so only death could separate them.
Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun — the most controversial couple of the 20th century! On the one hand, a tyrant, a despot and one of the most violent figures of the past, on the other — a charming man with magnetic charisma, who managed to conquer many women.
The love story of a seventeen-year-old girl and a forty-year-old politician was full of dramatic events: Eva dreamed of a great mutual feeling, and the domineering Adolf quickly won her heart. Hitler met Eva Braun in a photo studio where she worked as an assistant.
The lovers spent a lot of time together, walking, going to the movies, but Hitler continued to appear in public with his niece, Geli Raubal, whom he loved dearly for many years. Eva knew about his parallel affair with another woman and dozens of adventures on the side, but she silently endured all the humiliations, because she loved the Fuhrer all-consuming.
Nothing could cool her ardor: even during those periods when Hitler was estranged from his beloved, the girl continued to remain faithful to him. Because of the difficult love experiences, Eva twice tried to take her own life, but survived, apparently, in order to die together with her beloved.
Eva disobeyed Hitler only once, when he asked her to hide away from the capital, but the girl returned to him, knowing full well that she was going to her death. Adolf appreciated the brave act of his chosen one, and made her a marriage proposal.
She became his legal wife for just 1 day: Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler were married on April 29, 1945. The bride was wearing a black dress at the request of the groom. On April 30, they took the poison, voluntarily choosing a honeymoon in the other world.
Princess Diana and her lover, Dodi Al-Fayed, were killed in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997. Lady Di divorced Prince Charles and tried to regain female happiness, and although there was no end of fans from Diana, her relationships with men were not the most successful way.
In 1997, she met the billionaire's son, successful producer Dodi Al-Fayed, after accepting an invitation from his father to visit their apartment in Saint-Tropez. According to eyewitnesses, Dodi was famous for numerous love affairs, but after meeting Diana, he instantly changed, admitting that he had never met women like her.
A spark flared up between them, igniting a flame. The romance developed rapidly, but Diana tried to hide from prying eyes what was happening between her and the man she loved.
The couple became the object of paparazzi harassment, and the last fateful night was no exception: the lovers tried to get rid of the chase and camera flashes when the car lost control at a crazy speed due to the driver's fault. Lady Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed died on the spot, running away from everyone forever, just as they wanted.
Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. was one of the most beautiful couples of the last century. Carolyn was not only the wife of John F. Kennedy's son, but also a well-known publicist for Calvin Klein, a style icon and the embodiment of the American dream.
They were adored in society: smiling, happy and active, they looked like a perfect couple. John is the only child in the history of the United States whose father at the time of his birth was already elected president, so Kennedy Jr. became like a crown prince. In fact, he always dreamed of being a simple person, so he became involved in the media, although he himself was a target for paparazzi all his life.
John and Carolyn were secretly married on September 21, 1996, in a modest wooden chapel on Cumberland Island. It was the same fairy tale that girls have dreamed of since childhood. However, it did not last long. It was hard for Carolyn to get used to the constant attention from the media, the girl was worried about it, there were disagreements in the family. But the couple was destined to stay together forever.
On July 16, 1999, John, Carolyn, and her older sister, Lauren, boarded Kennedy's private jet. They were going to the island of Martha's Vineyard, where they were invited to the wedding of the youngest daughter of Robert Kennedy.
John himself was at the controls, as he loved flying and was quite an experienced pilot, but that night, due to low visibility, the plane lost control and fell into the ocean. The remains of the three passengers were searched for by the US rescue services for a long time, and mourning was declared in the country. The young Kennedys were mourned by millions of people around the world.
