Her grandfather was an aristocrat and diplomat who, with his family, was stranded in Britain by the Russian revolution in 1917.
His son married a British woman and anglicised the family name to Mirren when the actress was ten.
Dame Helen, 73, who has played both Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II, is pictured in a grey wig and blue and gold dress in a recreation of Catherine’s private quarters.

Sets have been modelled on Russian palaces, with paintings hand-copied from originals in the Hermitage museum.
The four-part drama will chart the latter years of Catherine’s 34-year reign and is being filmed in Russia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Dame Helen was confirmed in January to be playing the role of the Russian Queen who had an extremely colourful love life.

Following the assassination of her husband Emperor Peter III in 1762, Catherine was rumoured to have had a string of male lovers and children through illicit affairs.
The series will particularly focus on Catherine's relationship with Russian statesman Grigory Potemkin, who will be played by Terminator Genisys star Jason Clarke.
It will be Helen's first major television role for 13 years, having last played Queen Elizabeth I in a Channel 4 miniseries.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
