Margaretta (or Margaret) Alexandra Eagar (12 August 1863 — 8 August 1936), was an Irishwoman who took on the role as a nanny and nurse in a Russian Imperial household in St Petersburg to the four daughters of Emperor and Empress Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia, the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia—known collectively as OTMA—from 1898 to 1904.
In 1906, she then went on to become an author. She wrote a memoir entitled 'Six Years at the Russian Court' about her experience working for the family and her time spent in Russia.
