Romanovs:A tale as old as time

ANASTASIA | 1997 Dir. Don Bluth & Gary Goldman

Olga and Tatiana were done dirty, but everyone else looks pretty good! The perspective on Olga's head is off and Tatiana would be the LAST one of them to slouch like that.

The four Grand Duchesses in Darmstadt, 1910

“I laugh so hard, when I read people saying that if grand duchess Anastasia hadn’t die she would marry Paul of Greece or Frederick IX of Denmark. I don’t think I she would marry any of those guys, because she had a free soul. She was very different from her sisters and also she was an adventurous girl and she wanted to have fun and she didn’t want to have a serious life!! And marrying those guys would have prevented her from doing what she wanted, in my opinion I don’t think she ever wanted to be a queen or thought about being a queen 👑.” - Text & Image Submitted by abigaaal

“I think there will hardly ever again be a pair of sisters equal to Empress Maria Feodorovna and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom, in glamor and grandeur. They were among the top European royalty of their time.” - Submitted by cenacevedo15

“The pink diamond diadem is one of the Romanovs’ most beautiful tiaras. The Romanovs certainly had the finest jewellery among the European monarchies.” - Submitted by cenacevedo15

“Princess Margaret of Connaught stroking the face of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, it was such a lovely gesture. It is a pity that the two departed early in life.” - Submitted by cenacevedo15

“Imagine how amazing it must have been to get to know the princess, Victoria Mountbatten, Prince Philip was lucky enough to get along with her (despite his sad separation from his mother, Alice of Battenberg). It must have been amazing to hear the stories of the days of Queen Victoria and the Romanovs told by your grandmother. Prince Philip described his grandmother as an encyclopedia, Victoria was an intelligent woman. Too bad that throughout his life he had to witness several tragic deaths involving his family.” - Submitted by Anonymous

“I think this question about Alpha Man is a lot of nonsense. But for me a representative of this serious category was Tsar Alexander III of Russia, who possessed abnormal physical strength and did not like to be contradicted. The current men who call themselves alpha on Instagram would cringe in front of the Tsar.” - Submitted by Anonymous

“Princess Victoria of Wales was one of the first loves of Tsar Nicholas II. If they had been married (with the permission of the Russian Orthodox Church), would King George V have done anything to save his favorite sister from execution?” - Submitted by Anonymous

It was a cute young love for the Tsarevich but in the end Princess Alix is the true love of the Emperor

“I think Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna was the Romanov who most adapted to Russian post-revolution life. Although without the wealth she had before, Olga managed to live a relatively happy life with her family in Denmark and Canada. I think the last two years of her life were sad because of her husband Nikolai’s death, they were very attached.” - Submitted by Anonymous
