In the footage, as soon as this photograph was taken she got up and rushed over to Olga to take the baby from her. Grand Duchess Tatiana is in the center with Princess Ileana of Romania on her lap, and Grand Duchess Anastasia is standing in back row.

This is such an amazing piece of history, that I feel like this photograph and video deserve their very own page.

GRAND DUCHESS TATIANA AND PRINCESS IRINA: LOOK-ALIKE COUSINS

 

Of all the Romanov cousins, Grand Duchess Tatiana most resembled Princess Irina Alexandrovna, daughter of Nicholas II’s sister Grand Duchess Xenia. In some photographs the resemblance is startling! The two cousins even looked more alike than they looked like their own siblings. Princess Irina, who married the notorious Rasputin murderer, Prince Felix Yusupov, was about 2 years older than her look-alike cousin and unlike Grand Duchess Tatiana she survived the revolution and lived abroad until old age. Irina’s photographs in older age give us an idea of what Tatiana would have looked like had she not been tragically murdered at age 21.
