When Anna Anderson died in 1984, her body was cremated. In 1994 DNA from a tissue sample was tested against that of Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh who is a grandnephew of Tsarina Alexandra.
It was proven then she was not the Grand Duchess Anastasia. Her DNA was matched with a grandnephew of Franziska Schanzkowska, a Polish Factory worker who went missing.
Probably not. Anne Anderson was likely not telling the truth when she claimed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia. She was considered an impostor, after a private investigation was undertaken, was shown to be lying. Numerous lawsuits later, the German courts ruled her as claiming falsehoods. Later in 1991, the bodies of Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, and three of their daughters were recovered in a mass grave near Ekaterinburg. DNA tests of the bodies, as well as some strands of hair from Anne Anderson, were made and showed that she had no blood-relation to any member of the Romanov family.
There is speculation, however, that she may have been telling the truth.There have been published articles, some of which were professionally backed, that casts doubt on the legitimacy of the DNA tests, claiming the evidence was tampered and potentially contaminated. Additionally, there have been numerous reports of professional anthropologists, along with some of the royal descendants of the Romanov family themselves, who claimed to believe Anderson's story. There are many discrepancies and unusual aspects of the Anna Anderson case, so no definite answer can be given. Nonetheless, the current verdict is that she lied.

Who is Anastasia Romanov?
Anastasia Romanov was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicolas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. She was born June 18 1901 and died July 17, 1918. It was long believed that she survived, but it is not true. The most famous impostor (there were several) of Anastasia was Anna Anderson, but her DNA was tested several times and does not match the Grand Duchess DNA. If you want to improve this answer feel free to do so, but PLEASE write facts and not something you have seen in a Disney movie or read in an unreliable source. When people ask questions they deserve to be told the truth. _______________________________________________ If Anna Anderson was Anastasia, the government or the " high people " of Russia would not want the people to know. Otherwise, they might have been a civil war to fight for Anna Anderson's rights. And, of course, the government would not want a civil war! Believe what you want to believe, but think about what I typed above.
