In Nobiliary terms a Duchess is normally the wife of a Duke, or may be a Duchess in her own right. In Czarist Russia, a Grand Duchess ranked ABOVE a Princess and the four Romanov Girls were so-called. Properly the title Czarevna= colloquially crown princess actual daughter of the Czar, was also used. It is interesting that the woman who claimed to be Anastasia was quite content with the Czarevna ( Princess-Grand duchess) role and never personally styled herself as Czarina or Empress- though certainly the media did- Girl Czarina of all the Russias, indeed. Modest Romanov girl, then again, it is like an Ex-Colonel of the Confederacy looking for combat bonuses-after the Civil war was over and lost. (Yesterday don"t matter if its gone) at least politically.
