Goofs

Factual errors: The hairstyles the four girls wear when they are in the basement is based of the official photographs of 1914. In reality when the four grand duchesses were imprisoned they had their heads shaved due to illness. By the time they were killed in July of 1918 their hair had grown to the napes of their necks.
