[Bagration Thrones]

NGalitzine
what do you mean with "Bagration physique" ? :)

[HereditaryPrincess]

No, Grand Duke Georgi is not married yet, although I've heard that he has a girlfriend, Rebecca Bettarini.

[Bagration Thrones]

thanks you :)

should she marry a royalty? :)

who is batareani? :) royalty girl ? :)

[HereditaryPrincess]

I don't really follow the Russian Royals, so unfortunately I can't answer your questions. I think Rebecca is an Italian, but I'm not 100% sure on this. She's not royal or related to royalty AFAIK.

[Lenora]

Rebecca Bettarini is daughter of the former Italian ambassador in Luxemburg and Brussels. She has no royal or noble blood.

that means he cannot marry that italian girl? :)

[Lenora]

Under the old dynastic law no, he cannot.

But in a recent interview, Grand Duke's mother admitted some changes in case Georgi chooses to marry a woman outside royal or noble circle.

Royal Russia News: Interview with Grand Duke George of Russia with M. N. Kulybin, Editor of the Newspaper Monarkhist

1. Your Imperial Highness, you are the heir, the continuation, of a great dynasty, which is this year celebrating its 400th anniversary. What does this anniversary mean to you personally?

Everyone should remember their ancestors and try to be worthy of them—to follow their example in those good, useful, and heroic things they achieved in their lives. And also to draw lessons from the mistakes and sins they may have committed.
Some know more about their ancestors than others. I am rather lucky in this regard, inasmuch as the history of my family is well-known for more than 700 years, during 300 of which my ancestors ruled Russia. Kinship to other dynasties links us to broader world history and to even more ancient epochs. All this imposes on me an enormous responsibility. Like other people, I strive always to do the right thing, but I sometimes make mistakes and missteps. But my accomplishments are, for a whole range of objective reasons, not at all equal to those of my ancestors. And so the consequences of each mistake or weakness are greater for me than for most other people. I know and sense that people expect a lot from us and can sometimes judge us very harshly, comparing what we do with what our ancestors did. But even when we are faced with a lack of objectivity or understanding about the differences in the circumstances in which we live and those in which our ancestors lived, we nonetheless hold ourselves to the highest possible standard. After all, to whom much is given, much is expected.

I see my duty to my countrymen, to my mother, to all my ancestors and descendants, to consist of this: to protect the good name and honor of the Romanoffs. I strive to preserve our traditions and spiritual values so that they may serve the interests of Russia, regardless of the form of government it might have. I feel duty bound to learn as much as I can about my native country, to perfect my Russian, and to make every effort to bring real and lasting benefit to my countrymen, especially to those in need.

At the same time, as the heir to the headship of the Russian Imperial House, which has made an undeniable contribution to the life of our country, I am grateful that evaluations of my words and actions—even the most critical evaluations—are not heartless, ill-willed, or politicized, but well-intentioned; that my fellow countrymen would support me in those things that I do well, and will not immediately seek to teach me a lesson. And if I do not understand something or other, that they would react to this with a brotherly feeling and with understanding of the fate of our dynasty, which has spent so many years in forced exile.

If the interview has been posted, it would be most kind of moderators to delete this post.

Well no, because in the NL many royals have ended up marrying commoners in the last two generations, *but* when that happened for the first time, with P.Margriet and her husbamd Pieter van Vollenhoven, many members of the royal family (with the exception of Q.Juliana) did not like it at all and for years have regarded him as not an equal familymember...
So even in so called 'modern monarchies' these sentiments are not all gone yet...

According to these recent photos, Georgi is maturing into quite a looker. I'd think that, though, as we look as though we could be siblings! No kidding, he's starting to look quite handsome.

Agreed! I have thought the same thing recently!

So cute!! It's nice to the Grand Duke doing something on his own. We usually see him with his mother.
