The press and the public eventually lost interest in the claims of the two branches of the Anjou-Durassow until 1982 when it surfaced again following the publication in Paris of a book entitled "I, Alexis, Great Grandson of the Tsar" by "H.R.H. Prince Alexis d'Anjou Romanov-Dolgorouki, Duke of Durazzo".Some interesting tidbits about this friend of Ambrose:
- In 1969, by means of a passport he obtained from the artificial island of "Sealand", Alexis metamorphosized into the "Prince Romanov
Dolgorouki". This island had been built by the Royal Navy during the second World War and was located off the southern coast of England. It had been used in connection with the Normandy landings in 1944 and after the war, the Navy decided to get rid of it. A wealthy English gentleman, Mr.Danyl Stevens (Note 21) who had long had a dream to rule over his own country bought the island. Subsequently, he sold nobiliary titles to enterprising individuals each of which came with a passport from the "Principality of Sealand". It was thus that on 4 June 1969 Alexis obtained passport No.6949 in the name of "His Highness Prince Alexis Romanov Dolgorouki". Oddly the passport showed neither his place of birth nor the identity of his royal parents. Apparently this was of no importance in the "Principality of Sealand".
- He spoke French, English, Italian and Spanish but curiously no Russian. It was this lack of what should have been his native tongue which three months later aroused the suspicions of Father Jean Maljinowski, a priest at the avenue Dupré Russian Orthodox Church in Brussels. On 7 September 1969, Alexis called upon Father Jean and asked to be baptized. The priest was nonplused. How, he asked himself, could a Russian prince of royal blood have waited until he was twenty three years of age to be baptized? Further, he did not speak one word of the language of his illustrious martyred ancestors. The priest, who had never heard of the island of Sealand, refused to administer the sacrament. Mr. Nicolas Zouboff and his daughter who were visiting Father Jean, witnessed the exchange. The "prince" was furious. He apparently needed to obtain a baptismal certificate in Russian, but the priest was adamant. As he stormily took his leave, Alexis angrily told him: "You'll see, you'll soon know who I am!"
- Another exhibit presented by the prosecutor as evidence was an amateurishly fabricated patent of nobility, allegedly issued by Emperor Charles V, dated 1546 which ennobled the Brimeyers. A further exhibit was a decree supposedly signed by Tsar Alexander II dated 5 February 1860 conferring nobility and the title of "imperial highness" to a Dolgorouki family. The use of the word "automatically" in the docuмent proved it to be indisputably false as that word was not in use in the Russian language in 1860. It would be too long to cite all of the docuмents used by the prosecution. In any event, Alexis Brimeyer was sentenced to eighteen months in jail, but he had, by then, put some distance between himself and the Belgian authorities and had taken himself to Greece.
- In a letter he wrote to the Belgian prosecutor from Athens, which he signed: "Imperator Rex", he complained bitterly about the unfairness of his sentence and informed him haughtily that he was a direct descendant of among other former reigning monarchs, the emperors of Byzantium, which might lead one to suspect that in addition to any other tendencies Alexis suffered from an imperial case of megalomania.
- One of his most notable successes was to convince the Metropolitan of the Carpatho-Ukrainian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church in America, Archbishop Ambrosij, of his authenticity as a Romanov and a Dolgorouki. This was to be extremely helpful to him in establishing solid contacts in the Ukrainian diaspora. Some have said that until recently he has received a monthly living allowance from these Ukrainian circles, but we have no way of verifying this.
