(..) [In response to a deleted comment:] I suppose some might wonder about the couple selecting the sex of their firstborn in light of the ruthless criticism a female heir would be likely to receive. The legitimacy, authority and character of female heirs of defunct or non-reigning houses, including but not limited to Maria Vladimirovna, are belittled on a scale rarely seen with male pretenders and heads who have adopted similar claims and stances.

I agree, while the Vladimirovichi claim to the Russian throne has been a source of controversy ever since the death of Emperor Nicholas I'm absolutely certain that we wouldn't have the fractured family we have today if Grand Duke Vladimir [Edit: changed from Grand Duke Kirill] had had a son.

I am pleased for the couple...but why announce the sex of the child before it is born? 
Is there precedent for this among Royal/Princely couples?
ETA: Victoria is looking amazing!

They are not the first : I remember Prince Laurent announcing before the birth the sex and the future name of his first born (Louise)

Not necessarily. Could it be the way that Princess Victoria is wearing her hair?

The Bragrations and ancestors where around during the Roman Empire, and that's one really old family that if restored will be older than Denmark's.
