Amazing high quality version of this lovely photo of Maria and Anastasia playing with their cousin, Dmitri Pavlovich, by the Dneipr River, Mogilev, 1916

This is one of the last photos the Romanovs have with Dmitri. In December the same year he would be involved in the murder of Rasputin, and would be exiled to the Persian War Front as punishment. Dmitri appeared to be greatly loved within the extended family, as he was the subject of a letter signed by various Romanovs addressed to Tsar Nicholas asking for a less harsh sentence.

GODPARENTS OF NICHOLAS II

Born during his grandfather's reign on 18 May (New Style) 1868 at the Alexander Palace, Tsarkoe Selo in Saint Petersburg. He was the eldest son of Alexander III and his wife Maria Feodorovna (then, the Tsarevich and Tsarina of Russia). He was christened on 1 June at the  Chapel of the Resurrection of the Catherine Palace at Tsarskoe Selo, by the confessor of the imperial family, protopresbyter Vasily Borisovich Bazhanov. His godparents were: 

ALEXANDER II, EMPEROR OF RUSSIA - his paternal grandfather, the Russian Emperor stood as one of the godparents. He became the Emperor of All Russia in 1855. Alexander’s most significant reform as emperor was the emancipation of Russia’s serfs in 1861, for which he is known as Alexander the Liberator. He was assassinated in 1881 when the young Nicholas was only 12 years-old, to which he became the heir apparent upon his death.

PRINCESS MARIE OF HESSE AND BY RHINE, EMPRESS MARIA ALEXANDROVNA OF RUSSIA - his paternal grandmother, the consort of Emperor Alexander II, was another of his godparents. Known for her intellect, she was one of the founders of the Russian Red Cross Society. However, she suffered from tuberculosis from 1863 and spent long stays in southern Europe to avoid harsh winters. Although she and her husband were unofficially separated sometime after the death of their eldest son, Maria was treated with respect and love by her surviving family. Maria passed away from illness when the young Nicholas was still a child.

PRINCESS LOUISE OF HESSE-KASSEL, QUEEN CONSORT OF DENMARK - his maternal grandmother was listed as one of his godparents. Louise became the Queen consort of Denmark upon her husband's - King Christian IX - accession in 1863, just few years before her grandson Nicholas' birth. She, herself, was a niece of another King of Denmark (Christian VIII). The great dynastic success of Louise's six children was to a great extent a result of Louise's own ambitions - through them, she was a grandmother of not only the future Tsar of Russia (Nicholas II), but also that of King George V of the United Kingdom; King Constantine I of Greece; King Christian X of Denmark, and King Harken VII of Norway.

GRAND DUCHESS ELENA PAVLOVNA OF RUSSIA - his great-great-aunt, the wife of the late Grand Duke Michael Pavlovich, was one of his godparents. Born as Princess Charlotte of Württemberg, she became a close friend of his grandmother the Empress Maria Alexandrovna, and was known as an intellectual. She was also considered the most exceptional woman in the imperial family since Catherine the Great.

KING FREDERICK VIII OF DENMARK - then, the Crown Prince, his maternal uncle stood as one of his godparents. During the long reign of his father, he was largely excluded from influence and political power. Upon his father's death in 1906, he acceded to the throne at the advanced age of 62. In many ways, Frederick VIII was a liberal monarch who was much more favorable to the new parliamentary system introduced in 1901 than his father had been, being reform-minded and democratically inclined.

What was Tsar Nicholas's relationship with other Grand Dukes? Which one did he not like and which ones did he greatly respect and admire?

Assuming you mean Nicholas II:

Among his uncles, Nicholas was not very fond of Vladimir Alexandrovich, because the latter had a very forceful personality and intimidated Nicholas. They also had a great conflict over Kyril´s marriage, which resulted in Vladimir shouting at Nicholas and even tearing off his epaulettes and throwing them into the Tsar´s face.

With Grand Dukes Sergei and Pavel Nicky had a good relationship, especially because he was very fond of their wives, but Sergei was later murdered and Pavel, after the death of his first wife, married a commoner without Nicholas´ permission, thus earning exile and the relationship was pretty much completely severed, up until the revolution.

His favourite uncle was Grand Duke Alexei. We know him as a person who loved life and was pretty much useless when it came to doing any meaningful work, either in politics or Navy, in which he had the post, but he was funny, always kind to Nicholas and pretty much an antithesis to Vladimir. Tsarevich Alexei was named after him.

When it came to cousins and other Grand Dukes, with most of them nicholas had good and even close relationships when he was younger, but as the time went by and the Imperial family closed off themselves (because of Alexei´s hemophilia and other issues) from the rest of the Romanovs, most of those relationships deteriorated. Mikhail Alexandrovich and Kdyril Vladimirovich married without permission and pretty much against the family law. Boris and Andrei Vladimirovichi were good for nothings with loose morals. Sandro had distinctly different political (and other) views (and frankly suffered from a big head, especially in later years).

The favourite relatives, besides Grand Duke Alexei, who died in 1905, were Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, whom both Nicholas and Alexandra, for the longest time, treated with great love and warmth , until the moment he involved himself with Rasputin´s murder, after which he pretty much ceased to exist to Alexandra and Nicholas had him banished (which ironically saved his life). The other great favourite was grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich (KR). His whole family remained close to the Tsar, his daughters being friends with OTMA, his sons serving during the war at the front and in the headquarters.

If I'm not mistaken, empress Maria Alexandrovna's brother was infatuated with Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna, but emperor Nicholas I did not want such a marriage to happen. Instead, he proposed a marriage with Grand Duchess Ekaterina Mikhailovna, but he demurred. What did Ekaterina think about this? Thx u!

Hi! Nope, you are not mistaken—Prince Alexander of Hesse fancied himself in love with Grand Duchess Olga. She did flirt with him quite a bit, but she knew her father did not approve, and she sort of led Alexander on a little. Because her two sisters had married relatively insignificant royal partners, Nicholas was eager to see Olga make a dynastic marriage, and Alexander of Hesse was not what he had in mind. He did suggest his niece, Grand Duchess Ekaterina Mikhailovna, as an alternative, but Alexander had no interest in marrying a woman he didn’t love; what’s more, Ekaterina’s father, Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, disliked the future Empress Maria Alexandrovna, and his dislike extended to her younger brother as well, so even if the young prince hadn’t demurred, it’s unlikely that the marriage would have happened. We don’t know much about what Ekaterina herself thought of the situation, but from what I understand, she was in no hurry to marry, and she had already refused the hand of another German prince. Ultimately, she married Duke Georg of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and interestingly, the couple made their home in St. Petersburg. Prince Alexander later fell in love with Countess Julia von Hauke, maid of honor to his sister, much to the displeasure of Nicholas I; he and Julia left Russia, and by the time they were able to wed, she was already six months pregnant. Her husband’s brother, the Grand Duke of Hesse, gave her the title of Princess of Battenberg, and as such, the current Mountbattens are her descendants.

TSAR NICHOLAS I OF RUSSIA.

Nicholas Pavlovich Romanov known as Tsar Nicholas I (6 July 1796 – 2 March 1855) reigned as Emperor of Russia from 1825 until 1855. He was also the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland. 

Nicholas was born at Gatchina Palace in Gatchina to Grand Duke Paul, and Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna of Russia. Five months after his birth, his grandmother, Catherine the Great, died and his parents became emperor and empress of Russia. He was a younger brother of Emperor Alexander I of Russia, who succeeded to the throne in 1801, and of Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovich of Russia. On 13 July 1817, Nicholas married Princess Charlotte of Prussia (1798–1860), who thereafter went by the name Alexandra Feodorovna when she converted to Orthodoxy. Nicholas had a happy marriage that produced a large family; all of their seven children survived childhood.

On 1825 Nicholas brother's Tsar Alexander died with no heirs and the Russian throne passed to his brother Constantine who renouced. After Constantine's renouce Nicholas became Tsar of all Russias on 1825. Nicholas' biographer Nicholas V. Riasanovsky said that he displayed determination, singleness of purpose, and an iron will, along with a powerful sense of duty and a dedication to very hard work. He saw himself as a soldier—a junior officer totally consumed by spit and polish. He was highly nervous and aggressive. Trained as an engineer, he was a stickler for minute detail. In his public persona, stated Riasanovsky, "Nicholas I came to represent autocracy personified: infinitely majestic, determined and powerful, hard as stone, and relentless as fate."

Nicholas was known as a gorgeous man, Riasanovsky says he was, "the most handsome man in Europe, but also a charmer who enjoyed feminine company and was often at his best with the men."

Nicholas died on 2 March 1855, during the Crimean War, at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. He caught a chill, refused medical treatment and died of pneumonia, although there were rumors he was committing a passive suicide by refusing treatment. He was buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich of Russia (1891 - 1942) and the Grand Duchesses.

I find the life of this young man rather sad. There is a lot of unfulfilled potential and mistakes in it (but then many of the lives of the last generation of Romanovs turned that way).

These few words do not go into depth into his story. They mostly refer to his close relationship with Tzar Nicholas and his family.

Dmitry was the son of Grand Duke Pavel Alexandrovich (younger son of Alexander II) and Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark. His mother died giving birth to him; eventually, his father decided to re-marry morganatically and was therefore stripped of his titles and sent away from Russia. The children (Dmitry, who was the youngest, and his sister Maria Pavlovna) stayed with their uncle Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovich, and his wife Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna.

When Grand Duke Serge was blown to pieces by terrorists, his wife Elizabeth decided to take the veil. Since Maria was of age for marriage (although young), Elizabeth secured a good match for her. Dmitry entered the military education system all Grand Dukes went through. In essence, Elizabeth was the only mother he had known, and he lost her to God.

During the years of his military education, when he was not with his regiment, Dmitry lived with the Tsar and Tsarina. He had his own quarters in the new Livadia Palace.

Nicholas II really seemed to be fond of him. At various times, it was commented that he was being considered as a consort for one or another of the Grand Duchesses, but nothing came of it (these might just have been rumors.) It is very possible that the most stable years of his life were spent with the Imperial Couple and their children.

When Dmitry came of age, being a very young man with little experience and lots and lots of money, he started keeping company with the fast set (Prince Felix Yousupoff included). His life from there on became very, very eventful.

I have a feeling that Dmitry was never quite happy. But that is another story.
