From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Princess Nadejda Petrovna of Russia (March 3, 1898 - April 21, 1988) was the third child of Grand Duke Peter Nikolaevich of Russia and his wife Grand Duchess Militza.
Nadejda was engaged before the outbreak of World War I to Prince Oleg Constantinovich of Russia, who was killed in action. She married Prince Nicholas Orlov in the Crimea in April 1917. They were among the Romanovs who escaped the Russian Revolution in 1919 aboard the British ship the HMS Marlborough. Their baby daughter Princess Irina Orlova, born in March 1918, was the youngest passenger aboard the ship.[1]
The Orlovs were divorced in 1940. Princess Nadia died in Chantilly, France in 1988. Her daughter left descendants.
