Thought that was Vicky 

Wasn't it one of George's sons that they hid away because he was either mentally weak or haemophiliac ....something like that anyway

I can't remember Kaytee, but didn't they hide away an old aunt or great aunt because she had learning difficulties or mentally unstable

I vaguely remember that they hid one away and the poor little thing died when he was 15 or so.....think I saw it in a TV programme......yes think they did that too,to someone

I'm with him there on not liking the opera or ballet thing

Like Baz, I know one of Victoria's sons had haemophilia, not sure about George having a son with it

He had 6 kids,but there were only five in the photo

Father said he regards him as a brother....  what was wrong with the son he was?

here you go Kaytee

(John Charles Francis; 12 July 1905 – 18 January 1919) was the fifth son and youngest of the six children of King George V and Queen Mary. At the time of John's birth, his father was the Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, King Edward VII. In 1910, George succeeded to the throne upon Edward's death and John became fifth in the line of succession to the British throne.

In 1909, John was discovered to have epilepsy. As his condition deteriorated, he was sent to live at Sandringham House and was kept away from the public eye. There, he was cared for by his governess, "Lala" Bill, and befriended local children whom his mother had gathered to be his playmates. Prince John died at Sandringham in 1919, following a severe seizure, and was buried at nearby St Mary Magdalene Church. His illness was disclosed to the wider public only after his death.

I wonder how he felt when they were all massacred 

No the wonder the Ruskies never liked us 

what a shame...I'd forgotten he had done that. Were they not on a boat in British Waters when he changed his mind?

That was ruthless of him....especially as plenty of Romanovs did come to live here
