While on the train to Copenhagen, Anna, studying a photograph of the fictional Prince Paul, can't remember how old she was when she was engaged to him. Bounine answers, "Sixteen."
In reality, neither the Grand Duchess Anastasia nor any of her three sisters were ever engaged.

The taxi carrying Anna and General Bounine to their Copenhagen hotel is held up by a parade of the Royal Guards, the driver explaining that the parade is held everyday when the King is in Copenhagen. Testing Anna, Bounine asks, "The King?" Anna answers, "Uncle Chris, cousin to grand-mama, the Empress.' At that time, Denmark's King was Christian X, a nephew -- not cousin -- of the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna.
The map of Europe, pinned in Bounine and Chernov's headquarters reflects Europe after 1945 instead of 1928 when the movie is set. Poland and Germany have their post-World War II shapes. At this time, Silesia and the whole Pomerania were part of Germany, and Poland extended further to the east.
The cigarettes Bounine smokes in the movie have white filter-tips. Filtered cigarettes were not invented until the 1950s.
