What is the difference between a princess and a grand duchess?
They are equivalent ranks- western wise- Great Britain does not use the Grand Duchess rank, which was used by czarist Russia and also Imperial Austria. Some linguists have argued that Archduchess was a more accurate rendition for the Austrian Noblewomen. A Grand Duchess of Russia was both a Grand Duchess and a Crown Princess- or Czarevna. there were Grand Duchesses such as Elisabeth ( the sister of Czar Nicholas II) who were not Czarevnas- daughters of the Czar but were int he Horizontal or Fraternal linel. Generally the Grand Duchess ranks applied to the equivalent of Crown Princesses in the West. She should be addressed as Your Highness (Imperial Highness in formal occasions) and if under l8, as Anastasia was, (Your Grace). Dimitri got it right. Grace was NOT her middle name. Olga can be very loosely translated as something like Grace or Bounty, divine favor, however.
Was Anastasia a princess?
Yes, actually a Grand Duchess. in the Czarist Russian scheme a Grand Duchess outranked a princess, which was closer to a buzz-word for Noblewoman in general. All of the four Romanov girls were both Grand Duchesses and Crown Princesses from Birth, though technically the princely style of (Your Higness) did not apply until reaching their majority, age-wise. Thus correctly Dimtri refers to Anastasia as (Your Grace) which is the correct form of address for a (lower half) Duchess, if this was after she was l8, it would be Your Highness, or Imperial Highness. Olga lived up to the role, being 6Ft two and had eyes of blue, I say that "Cat (Siberian I presume) was an Amazon, parodying a song! By the way Czarina- Empress, QUEEN. Czarevna=lit czar-daughter, Crown princess of Grand Ducal Rank as the four daugters were.Anastasia never formally claimed the title of Czarina, empress, being quite content with Grand Duchess. Thogh she lay her glory by, so lines east no more will die...right on!

Why was Anastasia Nickalaiwna?
Get your spelling right, Comrade. It is Anastasia (prename or Christian name)Nicolaievna-which means -The Daughter of Nicolai (Nicholas) In everyday use this was her common name, usually with the Royal surname (Romanov) understood, as she wouold be addressed as (Your Highness) Somewhat oddly this distinction in surnames between genders-unlike the Western form where we would merely have, say Anastasia Romanov, is also found among the Icelandic people where females have -Dotter (Daughter) embellished into their last names! She was not generally known as Anastasia Romanov until after the war and the Diaspora (dispersion of Russian Exiles). Some positive nicknames were: The Great White Hope, The Girl Czarina of all the Russias, and of course, Stacy. Negative handles included The Great Pretender, The Czarine of all D.P."s and some unprintable ones. It"s a fascinating subject and there were some intriguing Anastasia doubles who may have been hired by and for the Grand Duchess herself to lead-off the press.
Who is Romanov?
The ruling house of Russia - that is the royal family under the Czars. In a sense analogous to the British House of Windsor, it would be bad form to refer to Queen Elizabeth as Betty Windsor, so in a sense Anastasia Romanov is bad form- more accurately- as adult- Her Imperial Highness, The Grand Duchess Anastasia- Romanov, being the (royal house) is understood, as with the Windsor monarchy. prior to her becoming adult, technically she was addressed as Your Grace, the correct style for a Duchess (lower half) Courtly special agent Dimitri got the titles right in the film as he refers to her ( before the escape) as Your Grace. Grace, by the way was NOT her middle name. as it is , ipso facto, a sort of royal title-= it is rarely used as a personal name by royals- Princess Grace one notable exception.- as monarchs are style- by the Grace of God- Queen- so and so. and a Duchess as Your Grace, well there could be some double-talk here!
