It was Prince Philip's DNA that was used to confirm the remains of Alexandra and the children, the remains of Nicholas were confirmed with DNA from living Romanovs and blood on a shirt he was known to be wearing when he was attacked in Japan as a young man. I have no idea why the Orthodox Church would suggest otherwise.

Exactly, DNA confirmed the identity of the remains and the RO Church buried them befitting that identity. I can’t understand why the church balks now. One would think the two remaining children should be buried with their parents and the family reunited for eternal rest.
