Modern Descendants of the Russian

Royal Family
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
Queen Elizabeth II's husband is the grandnephew of the last tsarina, Alexandra
Romanov, and great-great-grandson of Nicholas I. His DNA was used to
identify the murdered Romanovs' remains. His descendants, including princes
Charles, William, and Harry, are therefore related to the Romanovs as well.

Prince Michael of Kent

His grandmother was first cousin to Nicholas II, and he was one of the living
Romanov relatives whose DNA was used to help identify the remains of the
tsar's family. He is also first cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. In England his
frequent use of royal perks earned him the tabloid nickname Rent-a-Kent.

Hugh Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster

After the unexpected death of his father in August, 25-year-old Hugh became
the 7th Duke of Westminster, a billionaire, and, as the Telegraph put it,
"Britain's most eligible bachelor." Grosvenor is a descendant of Mikhail
Romanov—and, incidentally, Alexander Pushkin.

King Constantine II of Greece

The last king of the Hellenes; his great-grandmother was a Romanov grand
duchess. He was dethroned in a coup in 1967 but moved back to Greece in 2013
after a 46-year exile. King Constantine is the grandfather of T&C Modern
Swan Princess Olympia of Greece.

Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna

The great-great-granddaughter of Alexander II lives in Spain and is the


Imperial House of Russia's official head.

Grand Duke George Mikhailovich


Vladimirovna's son will become head of the Imperial House on his mother's
death. He recently started Romanoff & Partners, a consulting firm specializing
in politics and public affairs.

Olga Andreevna Romanoff


Daughter of Prince Andrei Alexandrovich, Nicholas II's oldest nephew. She
lives in Kent, England, and organizes the annual Russian Debutante Ball in
London. Currently working on a tell-all book about her royal connections.

Francis-Alexander Mathew
One of Olga Andreevna's four children, Mathew is a photographer and
occasional actor. He played himself in season two of Secret Princes, a TLC
realty show.

Nicoletta R omanoff
The great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Nicholas I. An Italian actress,
Nicoletta collaborated with Damiani jewelry in 2016 to create the Romanov
Collection.

Prince Rostislav Romanov

He was born in Illinois, but Rostislav is one of the few Romanov relatives who
actually live in Russia. He is the great-grandson of Grand Duchess Xenia
Alexandrovna. Based in Moscow, he is director of a watch factory founded by
his ancestor Peter the Great.
