There was no "secret Grand Duchess". Nicholas II of Russia and Alexandra Fyodorovna had 4 daughters (Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia) and one son (Alexei). Remains of Alexei and one of his sisters (either Maria or Anastasia) have not been found, which lead to the theory that one of the Tsar's daughters have survived the executions of the rest of her family.
Where is Anastasia's mother from?
Anastasia's mother, Alexandra, born Alix, was born in Germany in the House of Hesse, whose kingdom most likely was near the Rhine River due to the fact that her full title is: Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova of Hesse and by Rhine. After her parents died when she was young, she went to live in England with her grandmother, Queen Victoria, who hoped she would one day take the British throne. However, she fell in love with the handsome young Tsarevitch (Russian prince) Nicholas, and the rest is history.

I believe he was Russian Orthodox, like all the Romanovas.
What are the ways World War 1 contributed to the end of the Romanov dynasty?
Thw war ( popularily called World War I) then just the European War, was unpopular among the people ( Like Nam). Casualties were mounting and there were severe logistics and food shortages among the people at home as well as the war effort. the fact that the Empress ( Alexandra) was herself of German extraction- she converted to Russian Orthodoxy, was a sore bone. both the communists and the moderate White or Menshevik government were on an inspired ( Peace) track and promised to end the military operations in the ETO once in power, they did- but then had a Civil war on their hands between Reds and Whites not fully wound-up until l922, when guess who surfaced in Manhattan! The (folk) song had it- In the year of Diaspora (22) Stasia borne across the sea, on a Big three-Island steamer jaunt paid for by you and me ( this is not true- but Russian relief charity funds may have been involved) But the methods of production still defy the K.g.B. but the White Cause still goes on! Many a true word spoken or sung, in jest.
What was England's reaction to the Tsar's killing?
World War I was well into it's third year by the time the Russian Revolution toppled the Romanov Dynasty in March 1917. The Romanov Tsar, Nicholas II had been forced to abdicate and he, along with his wife, their four daughters and the Tsarevitch Alexei were sent into exile in Siberia. Following the March revolution Russia was precariously managed under a "provisional government" overseen by Alexander Kerensky whose duty was [presumably] to negotiate the safe transfer of the Imperial family to either Denmark or England. King George V was Nicholas' first cousin and Empress Alexandra was also related to the English Royal family.
Anti-German sentiment had reached fervor pitch across Allied Europe by 1918. Meanwhile the Russian Imperial Family were still held under arrest by the Provisional Government which was rapidly losing power and would soon succumb to the Bolsheviks. Negotiations between the Provisional Government and King George V's government had all but reached a stalemate when the British Prime Minister, Sir George Buchanan famously told Alexander Kerensky "His Majesty does not insist" [Nicholas and his family be allowed safe passage to England] When Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918 giving surrender to Germany under such appalling terms, several generals faithful to the monarchy shot themselves on the spot. With Russia now under complete control of Vladimir Lenin, the fate of the Imperial Family was sealed.
On a sweltering summer night in July 1918 Nicholas II, Tsaritsa Alexandra, the four Grand Duchesses; Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and the Tsarevitch Alexei were shot to death in the cellar of the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg. The order to kill the family had come expressly from Lenin that same day.
History can only sumise how the regicide was seen by the rest of the world and countless works, both fact and fiction continue to be published to this day on the subject. King George V, Queen Elizabeths grandfather is said to have remarked privately after the war and until the end of his life in 1936: if only he had done more to "save dear Nicky".

Is rasputin responsible for the downfall of the romanov family?
No. Tsar Nicholas II's persecution and abuse of the Russian people was responsible for their fall. It is well known that the Tsar was a weak-willed and indecisive individual who would change his mind multiple times. The Russian peasants and the Jews had no rights at all. In fact, whole towns of Jews were slaughtered, just for being Jews, with the Tsar's approval. The workers also wanted better conditions, but when they went to petition the Tsar in a peaceful demonstration, with whole families there, the Tsar's police gunned them down. They had no weapons and were even carrying posters praising the Tsar. This sparked the revolution of 1905, before Rasputin ever arrived in St. Petersburg. That revolution was a clear demonstration of the people's dissatisfaction with the Tsar's government. When the 1917 Revolution, ending the Romanov rule occurred, Rasputin had been dead for 4 or 5 months already. In addition, Rasputin was anti-war and anti-violence of any kind. The myths and legends to the contrary were perpetrated by the aristocracy who hated him for being close to the Tsar and for helping the Jews and advising equal rights for them. The aristocrats' gossip became history, rather than the stories of the common, poor people whom he helped.

Anna Anderson, the best=known and -probably most feasible Anastasia claimaint was married, but never had any children. she had a history of mental illness ( small wonder!) and may have been deliberately sterilized while she resided in Berlin- the biographers are silent about this but maybe - this would effectively forestall any Romanov succession- without harming She of All The Russias personally!
Romanov was the ruling house ( Family) of Czarist Russia. They were in power froml6l3-l9l7. in l9l3 the 300Th anniversary for the Dynasty was celebrated. Celebrated Romanov rulers included Peter the Great, Catherine I and II (the latter being known as the Great-ruled for 32 years). Alexanders l-lll and Nicholas l and II Nicholas , of course the Last Czar. some historians and restoration sympathizers consider Grand Duke Michael who did survive Nich but not the revolutions, as a last, if nominal Czar. He saw considerable action in the Battlefield but never reigned as a Czar, a Garrison hat, yes, but not a Crown! Oddly the term Red Army was in use by the White Forces, as the elite striking unit of the Army-no doubt a referent to Mars- God of War- and Red the color of arm of service! Nichlolas Himself commanded the Red Army (prewar) in parades. of course after the revolution the adjective acquired comunist as well as martial conotations, but there was a Red Army in White Russia, an elite striking unit.
