Grand Duchess Tatiana and Grand Duchess Maria with Officer Pavel Voronov, who later became the romantic interest of Grand Duchess Olga. This photo was taken on the Standart in 1911, which means Olga Romanov knew him for several years before developing any feelings.

1913 was the Tercentennial of the Romanov family’s dynastic rule, and the eldest Grand Duchess Olga Romanov was coming of age (she turned 18 in early November). The Grand Duchess’s life was full of romance, pageantry and fun. One of her two love interests during that year was a young handsome officer from the imperial yacht: Pavel Alekseyevich Voronov.
