Tsarevich Alexei found, again, mabey..

Archaeologists claim to have found the remains of Russian Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov and his sister the Grand Duchess Maria, reports the St. Petersburg Times here.

Alexei is perhaps the most famous person in history to have had hemophilia. He was passed the hemophilia gene through his mother Alexandra. Alexandra was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England by whom the so called 'royal disease' of hemophilia was passed to many of the royal houses of Europe through her descendants.
