Don't Be Surprised If You Run Into Russian Princess Olga On A Dating App
Dating apps truly are for everybody.
Think dating apps are only for the young? Russian princess Olga Romanoff is here to change your mind. At 71 years old, the cousin of Queen Elizabeth II has turned to dating sites and apps in order to find her match. On the reality show Keeping Up With The Aristocrats, starring Princess Olga, she explained that her daughter assisted her in setting up accounts for her to start to date online.
“I've always liked the idea of the perfect relationship and romance, but I have a knack for picking the wrong people. The type of man I always liked was the 'trained assassin,'” she said on the show.
Olga is a descendant of the Romanov Dynasty and the current President of the Romanov Family Association—she is the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew Alexandrovich of Russia with Nadine Sylvia Ada McDougall, his second wife. The Princess has homes both in South Kensington and Hatchlands Park, England.
In the past, Princess Olga was considered a possible bride for her cousin Prince Charles. “My mother was always under the illusion that I could marry poor Prince Charles. I would have been terrible for him,” he says. Olga eventually married and had four children with Thomas Mathew, son of Francis Mathew, a member of the Irish nobility, until their separation in 1989.
