At first I thought George V was the Tzar, in this photo.

Then I remembered they looked a lot alike:

Isn't that why the Tzar's son had hemophilia?

Yeah, looked more like brothers. George was actually three years older than Nicholas.

I was watching Peeky Blinders tonight and there was a photo of George V on the wall. My first thought was why is the Czar..?

Prince Michael is not on the Civil List, ie he receives no public funding and, after after an army career, has developed various business interests including a number in Russia.
He speaks fluent Russian and apparently has something of a following over there because of his resemblance to the Tsar.

I guess if I were Russian I’d be interested in other options.
