Princess Ileana of Romania first met the Tsarevich Alexei in 1914 right before the start of WWI. While they were both quite young, they instantly had a great bond. After growing up after the war, the two met again and fell in love. The two were married and Ileana took the name of Elena Feodorovna. Alexei became Emperor Alexei II of Russia, and Elena now his Empress consort. (Please remember that this is all my personal story of what could happen between the two)
