Russian imperal family?

Question

i seem to remember a few years a go seeing a late night documentary about some members of the Russian Imperial family who were living in the UK?

have i got this right?

Answer 1

Yes.  The Brittish royal family and the russian royal family were related.

Answer 2

The reason that none of the Czar's immediate family were rescued is because Britain suddenly dropped its plans to evacuate them by destroyer. The British Royal family,Germans, didn't want them in England during wartime. Nice relatives!

Answer 3

Yes, some members of the Romonov family live in the UK.  After the Bolsheviks took control of the government in late 1917 many members were killed, imprisoned and then killed.  Some family members managed to escape, and settled not only in the UK, but also France,Canada,America.

  Strangely enough no one from Czar Nicholas'II

immediate family was rescued, or apparently escaped.  Food for thought?

Answer 4
