Remembering czar Nicholas's children:
The Communists executed Tsar Nicholas II, his wife, and his family on 17 July 1918. What did they look like?

Olga was the oldest daughter of Nicholas II. Without the revolution, she might have married Edward VIII, Queen Elizabeth's uncle.
Tatiana was the most beautiful of all her sisters and was a red-cross nurse during World War I until her abdication.
The flirtatious Maria had several innocent crushes on the young men she met.
Persistent rumors of Anastasia's possible escape circulated, but later evidence showed that all four Grand duchesses died in 1918.
Alexei was the youngest child and only son of Nicholas II. He was born with hemophilia, which his parents tried treating with the help of Grigori Rasputin
