Olga Alexandrovna (Russian, 1882 - 1960) aka Olga Koulikovsky Romanova, Still life with flowers in a sunny window with a view to the garden, s.d. Private collection © photo Bruun Rasmussen
Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia was the youngest child of Emperor Alexander III of Russia. Her older brother was Tsar Nicholas II. She was raised at the Gatchina Palace outside Saint Petersburg. Olga's relationship with her mother, Empress Marie, the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, was strained and distant from childhood. In contrast, she and her father were close. He died when she was 12, and her brother Nicholas became emperor. In 1901, she married Duke Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg, who was privately believed by family and friends to be homosexual. Their marriage of 15 years remained unconsummated, and Peter at first refused Olga's request for a divorce. The couple led separate lives and their marriage was eventually annulled by the Emperor in October 1916. The following month Olga married cavalry officer Nikolai Kulikovsky, with whom she had fallen in love several years before.

As someone with autism, one of my fixations in high school was the Romanovs, and I remember being really amused by the realization that the four Grand Duchesses map perfectly onto the four Hogwarts Houses. So, I thought I’d share just because it’s kind of fun.
Olga Romanov was the eldest child. Clever and astute, she would often read alone in her room, read the newspaper with her father every morning, and would debate her father on political matters. During World War I, Olga, along with her mother and sister, Tatiana, trained to be nurses with the Red Cross and aided soldiers in the battle. She maps well to Ravenclaw for her keen mind and interest in learning.
Tatiana Romanov was the second oldest, and her mother’s favorite. She was a fashionista, delighting in fine clothes, and known for her charm and grace, to the point that the clumsy Anastasia envied her for her poise and elegance. What’s more, her sisters called her The Governess because of how she would boss them around like a nanny. She was also the negotiator of the four, sent when the sisters wanted something, as Nicholas and Alexandra had a harder time saying ‘no’ to Tatiana than the other three girls. She maps to Slytherin for her cunning, charm, and bossiness.
Maria Romanov was the third oldest. As a child, she was chubby, such that her sisters called her Fat Little Bow-Wow. She was an absolute saint of a girl, quick to tattle when she caught her older sisters breaking rules, which led to them often excluding her and teasing her. She dreamed of marrying a soldier and having a big family she could take care of. She maps onto Hufflepuff for her loving and affectionate personality.
Anastasia was the youngest of the four, and the apple of her father’s eye. Anastasia was a spitfire and a tomboy. She was known to race with the boys, climb trees, and hide in the cupboards. Her father called her Little Imp, and he let her get away with just about everything. She was a gifted performer, known to put on plays, sing, dance, and do comedy routines. During World War I, Anastasia was too young to be a nurse, but she kept soldiers company by playing games with them, and performing for their amusement. Even held captive by armed Bolshevik guards, Anastasia was known to stick her tongue out at them when they weren’t looking. She exemplifies the virtues of Gryffindor.
