ROMANOV FAMILY

Nicholas II was the last tsar of Russia. He was deposed during the Russian Revolution and executed by the Bolsheviks. Nikolai Aleksandrovich Romanov was born near St Petersburg on 18 May 1868, the eldest son of Tsar Alexander III. When he succeeded his father in 1894, he had very little experience of government. In the same year, Nicholas married Princess Alexandra of Hesse-Darmstadt (a duchy in Germany). They had four daughters and a son, Alexei.

Grand Duchess Olga and Alexandra Feodorovna, 1896. “Baby is flourishing and kisses her beloved Grandmama. I hope she can go out as soon as it gets a little warmer. Everything reminds me here so much of when she was born, and it is so strange to see her such a big, fat little creature, laughing and cooing away. Whilst we have our breakfast I give her hers. She weighs now a little more than Irina, but is of course not as long.”

Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana playing a game with their father (center) and some friends in Finland (1908-09). The Grand Duchesses’ cousin Dickie Mountbatten remembered that Nicholas was cheerful, kind, and family-loving. He was a very attentive father and was always happy to join in with his children’s games, when he had time.
