How Was Anastasia Romanov Queen Victoria

[loulou111]

Someone told me Anastasia Romanov and Queen Victoria were blood related in what way?.

[sandyRoe]

Anastasia was Victoria's granddaughter. She died in Ekatrinburg with the rest of the Russian royal family.

Her granddaughter !. Well i'd be blowed. You do learn something new everyday. Thankyou for the history lesson sandyRoe

[murraymints]

Or did she Sandy ?? ....

[sandyRoe]

You're welcome. I think I remember reading somewhere that DNA tests have shown that the woman who claimed to have been Anastasia and had survived the Ekatrinburg massacre was a fraudster.

actually a great-granddaughter, I believe. Her mother Alexandra was Victoria's granddaughter.

Victoria bred like a rabbit and, as a consequence, a lot of the royal families of Europe had an injection of her genes. "Incest is best - put the Royal Family to the test."

King George V of Great Britain and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and the German Kaiser were not simply cousins, they were first cousins. If their grandmother Queen Victoria had still been alive, said the Kaiser, she would never have allowed them to go to war with each other.

erm DTC they didnt go to war with each other
they were cousins and allies -
they went to war with another cousin - the Kaiser

and anyway shoudnt it be Romanova

[Ric.ror]

Didn't they use DNA from prince Michael of Kent?

[DTCwordfan]

you are living up to your name. To be clear the Kaiser was a cousin and, yes, the was war with him - Romonova for the Grand Duchesses; I didn't write Romanov though.
