...the Heir Apparent the Czaritsa. I thought the Tsar's son was the Tsarevich (using the patronymic suffix). Or am I just confused?

You are correct. The eldest son of the Czar is also known as the Czarevitch. In fact, I don't find "czaritsa" anywhere. I must have been hallucinating.

"Czaritsa" is the title accorded the wife of the Czar. "Czarina" must be the princess. I'll get it straight one of these days.
