1917-Grand Duchess Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia and the Tsarvietch Alexis are spirited away to Denmark. The Tsar, Tsarina and Marie are killed at Ekatrinburg. Grand Duke Michael and other leading romanovs also killed as in OTL.
Whites and Reds battle in Russia
1918-Alexis is proclaimed the Tsar of all Russias. Is assassinated by Red agents while riding in Copenhagen.
The three Grand Duchesses and the grieving Dowager Empress flee to England. Grand Duke Cyril proclaims himself Tsar in Paris. Disregarding advice of the British government Grand Duchess Olga is proclaimed Tsarina of All Russias by a group of émigré’s. Her claim is recognised by her grandmother and other senior members of the Romanov family.
Kaiser Wilhelm and Emperor Karl both offer to recognise her position. Olga and Anastasia leave for Berlin.
1920- Tatiana married Edward, Prince of Wales. The British government recognises Olga, as Tsarina of All Russias. Mediates a meeting with the White government which appoints her as a constitutional ruler. Olga leaves for Russia making the proclamation of Imperial succession. (Anastasia, and then the Vlladimirovitch line, Tatiana and her heirs are excluded from succession)
1920-Olga arrives in Petrograd and joins the White forces.
1920-Edward and Tatiana leave for the US. Active backdoor lobbying by the Grand Duchesses and public sympathy get US money to back the Whites.
1921- Lenin dies in the middle of the civil war, with Trotsky as successor. Olga issues a death warrant for all Soviet leaders.
1922- Tatiana gives birth to Alexandra of Wales. White armies begin to gain control.
1923- Olga marries Prince Andrew of Greece in a spectacular wedding.
1924- Olga gives birth to Tsarvietch Nicholas. Tatiana gives birth to Marie of Wales
Lots more work needs to be done. What would the political impact of the above be. Could this for instance see the Hohenzollern monarchy remaining? What changes would White Russia as a constitutional monarchy cause in the 1930s. I am assuming a Bolshevik insurgency would continue against the state....
