Nina Georgievna Romanova is the heiress of the Greek king George I by mother and Prince Mikhail Nikolayevich Romanov by father. Her parents are Prince George Mikhailovich Romanov and Grand Duchess Maria Georgievna, Princess of Greece and Denmark.
It is always interesting to know how the fate of people born in royal families has developed. They were the color of the aristocracy, but such an event as the revolution of 1917 abruptly turned their whole life upside down.
Biography
Nina Georgievna was born in 1901 in St. Petersburg. Naturally, the princess did not grow up like ordinary children. Her childhood passed in the palace where she was born. When she was four years old, she was taken to Germany to treat for diphtheria. At that time, it was a fairly common disease. Fortunately, everything worked out, and the family of Prince Grigory Mikhailovich went to the Crimea, where the Kharaks Palace was built for them.
And in honor of her name day in 1906 the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord was founded - so the father decided to celebrate the recovery of Nina. By that time, she had a younger sister, Ksenia, and the girls were brought up together. They lived the lives of real princesses, and at the same time learned a lot. After all, they once had to go out, know etiquette and languages, show themselves erudite, well-read. Therefore, their days did not pass in idleness, but rather on the contrary - it was continuous training and the most versatile education.
It is known that Nina knew several languages. She spoke Russian with her father, with her mother in English, and with Ksenia in French. The prince often drove his wife and children abroad: they visited the most picturesque and interesting places in England, Denmark, Greece, France. There were many travel impressions, and they had something to talk about.
Unfortunately, Maria Georgievna and George Mikhailovich were not happy in marriage, and they did not have that friendly family, which happens if there is love between the spouses. But the father devoted a lot of time to his daughters: he played with them, read, sometimes they just talked or fooled around. And Maria Georgievna spent most of her time abroad - resting or being treated.
Departure to England
In the summer of 1914, she also went to an English resort, but this time she took her daughters with her. She was uncomfortable in Russia, and she, under any pretext, left the country. We can say that this time the trip was saving, because the First World War soon began, in which Russia was involved. The princess with Nina and Ksenia lived in the city of Harrogate and constantly corresponded with George Mikhailovich, but refused to return to Russia.
Her decision saved the life of her and her daughters, because in 1919 Georgy Mikhailovich was shot, like other great princes.
