Life

[edit]

Natalya Alexeyvna was born in Saint Petersburg on 21 July 1714 as the daughter of Alexei Petrovich, Tsarevich of Russia and his wife, Charlotte Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. After the death of her father, she and her brother were moved to the Russian royal court in 1719, where they were raised under the supervision of Anna Ivanovna Kramer.[1]

Her brother became monarch in 1727, and Natalya thus became an heir to the throne after her aunts Elizabeth and Anna. She became a center of attention, and Prince Menshikov wished to have her married to his son. Natalya was described as intelligent and kind, and was considered a good influence on her brother, who was very close to her.[1]

She died in Moscow at the age of 14 due to complications with tuberculosis, unmarried and without issue.[2]
