520 3  "Princess Olga Romanoff, is the daughter of the eldest 
       nephew of Tsar Nicholas II, murdered with his family by 
       the Bolsheviks in 1918. She is the youngest child of the 
       late Prince Andrei Alexandrovich of Russia, who was born 
       in the Winter Palace in St Petersburg in 1897. He fled 
       Russia in 1918 with his pregnant (first) wife and his 
       father, Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovich, while his 
       mother, Grand Duchess Xenia, and his grandmother, Her 
       Imperial Highness Maria Feodorovna, followed a year later.
       The fabled Romanov jewels that they were able to smuggle 
       out had to be sold and the exiled family lived for some 
       time at various grace-and-favour homes at Windsor and 
       Hampton Court. The book is peppered with amusing anecdotes
       about the Royal Family, their British cousins. The reader 
       will also get a glimpse of the Princess's cosseted 
       childhood. She was looked after by a number of nannies and
       then privately educated at home for fear of mixing with 
       ordinary local children. My mother was a frightful snob, 
       says Princess Olga, who rebelled, and who still laughs 
       about one of her mother's ambitions: to marry her off to 
       Prince Charles! It was indeed an unusual upbringing with a
       snobbish and strict mother of Scottish and Scandinavian 
       background, and a more relaxed and indulgent Romanov 
       father whose occupation was stated as 'Prince of Russia' 
       on Olga's birth certificate. Her home, Provender House is 
       crammed full of fascinating Romanov memorabilia, from the 
       crockery used by the tsar and his family during their 
       final captivity in Ekaterinburg, to the diamond blade 
       penknife used for scratching the news of Prince Andrei's 
       birth on a window pane in the Winter Palace - still there 
       for visitors to see. The rambling 30-room Provender House,
       now open to the public, has indeed been witness to some 
       extraordinary tales - many of them hitherto untold - 
       handed down by Princess Olga's father." -- provided by
