Apologies, I didn't know that. That's pretty fucked up. I wonder what their reasoning was? Fear of inciting similar revolutions in their own countries? Hmm.

Well, tbf, taking in the Romanovs would be a risky endeavor because the country that harbored them might get into political troubles if the family was demanded back by say, the Bolsheviks (the government that was in power for a short time before the Bolsheviks took over were waaaay less crazy). The family would be targeted for assassination, and Russia has always wielded a lot of political might due to its many natural resources.

However I do think the UK was strong enough to say, "No, you can't have them back, they're family" without inciting a war (as opposed to saying "we can't let you spill Royal Blood" or something like that). Russia had a lot of other shit to deal with themselves.

More like the UK authorities would be saying, "sorry comrades, we can't let you have them back because we shot them here with our own bourgeois royals. We can let you have some dirt from their graves if you want though". Because the UK authorities in that situation might very well have been the UK's own post-revolutionary government. It almost happened here too.

David Lloyd George offered the Romanovs asylum in Britain, but George V wouldn't allow it. He was very wet and self protective, compared to his Russian and German cousins, his approach started the modern way of being a monarch, where his cousins were absolute rulers as it were.
