Nicholas and Alexandra by the American historian Robert Massie.

I'd believe it, but the authoritative biography of him doesn't mention it.

How about a history book that reads like a romance novel? If you are up for a new genre, I recommend Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie about the last emperor of Russia and the fall of the Russian monarchy. It is a better-than-fiction love story, tragedy, and political thriller all rolled into one. And, of course, it's a true story.

Not a Documentary, but this book http://www.amazon.com/Nicholas-Alexandra-Robert-K-Massie/dp/0345438310/ref=cm_lmf_tit_3/175-9794051-4284142 was quite good. Massie used a lot of personal correspondence to give an interesting view of the last Romanovs.

Trinity by Leon Uris is pretty great, especially if you're a fan of Irish history.

I also enjoyed Falls the Shadow by Sharon Penman, (about as good a name for a writer as I've ever come across.) It swirls around the signing of the Magna Carta.

If you don't mind a bit of extremely well-written non-fiction, might I suggest Robert K. Massie's Nicholas and Alexandra, about the last Russian Tsar and his family. Massie has also written about Catherine the Great and Peter the Great, (for which he won a Pulitzer,) buy I think the Nicholas book is easier to get into and less intimidating. It's a fascinating story.

If she likes things like historical romance have her watch Nicholas and Alexandra

Or read it https://www.amazon.com/Nicholas-Alexandra-Classic-Account-Romanov/dp/0345438310


Or maybe not, then she'll think you and her daughter will get killed by the Russians. But it does explain how hemophilia is genetic.

Not exactly biography, but utterly fascinating (to me, anyway): Nicholas and Alexandra.
