He Visited the Romanov’s Former Homes
In 1975, Mountbatten visited the Romanov’s former homes at the Imperial Russian palaces in the (then) Soviet Union. He reportedly brought up Nikolaevna. He was quoted saying: “I was over-powered by the emotion of going back to a country I had known fairly well as a child, where so many of my closest family had lived in such tremendous splendour, and then been murdered in this ghastly way.” The same year he wrote a letter that seemingly clarified what happened.
