Yes, that is called historical fiction.
Given the time, the daughter could be an illegitimate child of Grand Duke Vladimir; it was not unusual in the 1870-ish time frame for royalty to have affairs with multiple women, including servants of their own house or in the houses they might visit, and I notice that Vladimir did not marry until he was 24 and met a royal to whom he was attracted (a 17 year old). With money, titles and a good degree of autonomy, it is highly doubtful he was still a virgin at 24.
