Long-Lost Songs by Romanovs Surface | Arts & Ideas | The Moscow Times
Taking 15 years to put together, a recent concert at Tavrichesky Palace in St. Petersburg could have claimed a place in "The Guinness Book of World Records." The performance, entitled "The Imperial Musical Collection," showcased 20 long-lost musical works composed exclusively by members of the Romanov family, including Tsar Alexander II and Prince Konstantin Romanov.

Prince Nicholas Romanov: We have always felt Bulgaria very close, mostly because of the language - FOCUS Information Agency
“I hope I will be able to visit Bulgaria and get acquainted with this country, which we have always felt very close, mostly because of the language,” Nicholas Romanovich Romanov, Prince of Russia, said in a special interview with FOCUS News Agency.
“The Bulgarian language is intelligible for all Russians, I find the rest of the Christian languages much harder. I cannot speak Bulgarian but I can read absolutely everything,” he added.

Nice to see HH Prince Nicholas Romanovich is looking to travel abroad going into his 90th year, hopefully he realises his wish to visit Bulgaria and has good health for years to come.

Monarchy could be the answer to Russia's troubles.
I daresay Prince Nicholas Romanov (and by default, his presumed eventual heir, Prince Rostislav) have far more realistic chances to the Throne than Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna and Prince Georgi. I wish it weren't so, because as an Armenian I have nothing but warmest feelings to our Georgian brothers (and the Grand Duchess's mother was Georgian), but there is no way Russians would ever accept a ruler who is 1/4 Georgian and 1/2 German.

I confess, I didn't even know Prince Nicholas speaks Russian; I'm glad he took the time to learn the language of his ancestors.

He knows Russian because he spent his childhood and part of his youth in an environment formed of Russian expats in France: they spoke Russian among them, and even continued to use the Julian calendar, despite in France the Gregorian calendar is the one used.

Princess Valli of Russia nee Knust died in the Old Vicarage, Leigh, Dorset, on 10 July.
She was born in London on 4 April 1930.
She married there on 8 June 1961, as his third wife, Prince Vsevelod of Russia (1914-1973) [son of Prince Ivan of Russia (1886-exuted in Alapaevsk on the night 17/18 July 1918) & his wife, Princess Helene of Serbia (1884-1962)] soon after he divorced his previous wife, Emilia de Gosztonyi (1914-1993; married 1956); his first wife was Lady Mary Lygon (1910-1982, marriage from 1939 to 1956).

After her morganatic marriage to Prince Vsevelod Ivanovich, she was granted by Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich the title of Princess Romanovsky-Knust with the predicate of Serene Highness.

Does anyone know anything about Prince Mikhail Dmitrievich Keli-Romanov?
I remember some years ago, a member of the Romanovs came to Staten Island, where I live, to pay tribute to the 9/11 victims. I did some research on him recently, but couldn't find much.
This was all I could find: A 911 Commemoration
Ambassadors
He said he's distantly related to Nicholas II on his mother's side.
Does anyone know anything about this branch? Are they involved in any way to the Romanov Family Association?

I would agree with this. I was brought up in a house where Serbo-Croation was spoken. My daughter is a figure skater in an all russian program. I can generally follow the gist of the russian.

Romanov Russian Prince Carlo Alberto (1993-Italy) from September he moved to London to attend one of the most prestigious Universities of Architecture in the world ... For His Imperial Highness is going to be a year full of parties, gala and fun ... but we hope he won't forget the study.

Is his name Carlo Alberto Romanov? Must be or else he is a relation through his mother, cause I've never heard of any of the extended members being from Italy.

There is no "Prince Carlo Alberto Romanov" among the immediate or extended members of the Romanov family.
If such a person exists (which I strongly doubt), it is through a female line and he is most certainly not entitled to the title of a Prince.

Dear All,
One day I read a book about the Romanovs and their descendants, you should know that some members moved to France, England and some in Italy.
In Italy there is a line that carries the name of the Romanovs obtained through marriage with a member of the same family, in addition to this there is another branch, the one of the Consolo-Romanov, in this branch there is the italian actress Nicoletta Romanoff .
Doing some other research I found a relationship between the two Italian branches, and I discovered that they both have relatives in common, in fact Nicoletta Romanov is second cousin of Prince Charles Albert Romanov, he's probably not an Imperial Highness but the Princely title is true.
