Similarly, the timeline of the reburial has also shifted for the purposes of the drama. However, according to History Extra, the final resting place of the family was first located almost two decades earlier by an amateur archeologist. They were then excavated in 1991 and the process to identify them began in 1993. In "The Crown," the remains of the Romanovs are shown to have been discovered, excavated, and identified only after Russian president Boris Yeltsin's visit to London in 1994.

The Romanovs were buried in two unmarked graves, one containing Nicholas, Alexandra, and three of their daughters and another containing Alexei and one of his sisters. Royalist supporters stand in the street with portraits of the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra during the burial ceremony of the tsar's family remains in 1998.
