The Prince of Wales (R) views the Romano

The Prince of Wales (R) views the Romanov Tombs, at the Peter and Paul Fortress, in St. Petersburg, 14 July 2003, as part of his three-day tour of Russia. Charles saw the tomb of his distant ancestors Tsar Nicholas II and his family in the ornate sand-coloured and spoke of how his father played a significant role in identifying the remains. A sample of DNA from the Duke of Edinburgh was used to help scientists and forensic experts establish whether the bones and skulls belonged to the Romanovs. AFP PHOTO/POOL/Daily Telegraph/ Ian Jones (Photo credit should read IAN JONES/AFP via Getty Images)
