  • Princess Olga Romanoff's grandmother was the sister of the last Tsar of Russia. Today, 100 years after the Russian Revolution, Princess Olga comes to tell her story, how parts of the family managed to flee - while others were executed. She also talks about how her mother once was eager for her to marry Britain's prince Charles (7:54).
    Also present in the studio are artist Måns Zelmerlöw and violinist and model Charlie Siem.

The Lady here is the great-granddaughter of him. So technically grandniece of Grand duchess Olga. Grand duchess Olga has the title of grand duchess rather than princess. Princess Olga is the daughter of Prince Andrei, grandson of Tsar Alexander via his mother Grand Duchess Xenia( sister of tsar Nicolas ll, Grand Duchess Olga). I’m guessing her sister was overseas during the revolution like many of her other relatives. Unlike like what most of us believe, there are living direct lineage of Romanovs due to them being overseas or in a safe place from the revolutions. I know that most of the times siblings of kings or queens would have the title of Duke or Duchess rather than Prince ir Princess unless given I think?

    When I hear this scenario it reminds me of the French Revolution where my family members the Charpentier, noble at birth and descended from ancient Kings, had to flee France wearing servant's clothing and pinning money to their undergarments. Leaving all wealth and possessions behind and board a ship to Canada much like the Romanovs. The memory of my grandmother stays with me still, she loved her French heritage and spoke only French, raised French poodles, and loved French food. I researched my ancestors Marc Antoine Charpentier, a French composer, and Jean Baptiste Charpentier, a painter.

      @@oliviajrh390Jrh, I am from the Slezka family, the earliest known ancestor being Mikhail Slezka, a 17th-century printer and book publisher. We are descended from Sleszka's oldest son who left Lvov (Lviv) to join the Zaporozhe Cossacks. The Slezkins were registered as belonging to the Russian nobility of the Chernogov province in Ukraine. My grandfather and great grandmother fled Russia through Yugoslavia, first, they lived in Florence, Italy for a while and later settled in France. My grandfather eventually became a French citizen and joined the French army during the 2WW. Hence the "de" prefix which was added by the French as well as other slight spelling variations. Other family members remained in Russia under the communists while others managed to flee to Argentina and the US.

    Charming lady. Incredible circumstance to be so closely related to those historical persons. Probably the life of any party she attends. Can just imagine her laughter filling the house. She mentioned quite a few relatives in the States. It's surprising how many do actually live here. I remember in the 1990s a lady passed away, no children, never married, lived in a modest apartment, worked as a bank teller for decades. When her bank security box was opened there was discovered a parure set of royal jewels set with enormous peridot stones, and was discovered she grande Duchess of the Holy Roman Empire. That's the way to leave behind the royalty and live a quiet private life, for anyone who TRULY wishes to do so.
