The King, the Kaiser & the Tsar

The extraordinary family story of George V, Wilhelm II, and Nicholas II: they were tied to one another by history, and history would ultimately tear them apart.

Known among their families as Georgie, Willy, and Nicky, they were, respectively, the royal cousins George V of England, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, and Nicholas II of Russia—the first two grandsons of Queen Victoria, the latter her grandson by marriage. A family bond that was proved incapable of preventing the tragedy of the First World War, in 1914. The outcome and their personal endings are well known — Nicky shot with his family by the Bolsheviks, Willy in exile in Holland, Georgie still atop his throne.

This 2002 documentary provides a historical background to Stephan Poliakoff’s drama, ‘The Lost Prince.’

This video is produced as part of the project for the book "The Romanov Royal Martyrs”, which is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.
