Yekaterina has two sons. The eldest son, Paul petrovich, was born in 1754, and later became czar Paul I. There are rumors that he is the illegitimate child of yekaterina and courtier Gregory orlov, but the rumors are untenable, because Paul petrovich is simply a copy of his father Peter III Fedorovici in appearance and personality, and Peter III is not as barren as rumored, and once had an illegitimate child with his lover. Because Paul is too much like Peter III Fedorovici, Catherine II hates him very much. Tsar Elizabeth didn't mind that Paul was an illegitimate child, saying, "If he is really an illegitimate child, he is not the first in our family." .

The second son, Alexei Grigorevich Bobrinski, was born in 1762, and his biological father was grigori Olov. Immediately after his birth, he was sent to the home of Vasily schooling, an attendant (Sculin once set fire to the residence when the child was born to distract Emperor Peter III). His birth became the fuse of a coup with Queen yekaterina after Peter III was deposed. When Alexei grew up, he became a major general officer of the Russian Empire. Therefore, SCULLIN was made a squire by yekaterina, his son later became a Russian lieutenant general, and his two daughters became court female officers.

Daughter Anna Petrovna was born in 1757. As the Crown Prince at that time, Archduke Peter Fedorovici was very indifferent to the birth of his daughter, saying that it was not his own daughter, but the child was the legitimate child of the couple in name, so she was named the Grand Duchess. Everyone in the court doubted who the real father was, but she was still recognized as a royal blood under the leadership of Queen Elizabeth. 1759, Anna Petrovsky, Grand Duchess, died at the age of 1 year and 4 months.
