Russian nobility.. Better looking than most of the rest of the monarchies in Europe at the time. I read once, the reason they were murdered: The White army had a brief moment where they were encroaching on where the Romanov family were being detained, and the Bolsheviks could not let them be freed, and thus re-take the throne..
A little interesting and a bit weird tidbit. I was doing home health care, and I went to this couple’s home to help them. The older guy was talking about all kind of stuff. He then got on this subject. He claimed that his grandmother was Anastasia and she moved to the US seeking asylum. He said his father told him about it and said they were heirs. But you only had til like the age of 30 to come forward. He said that his father missed the opportunity and encouraged him to come forward. He then explained how he put ads in the newspaper (lol) and he was contacted, but they wanted to do something that he was against and he just left it alone.
I left that house very confused. And then I felt bad for his wife.
