Query about GD Georgi's title's
If Grand Duke Georgi's maternal grandmother, Princess Leonida, was called "Her Serene Highness Princess Leonida Georgievna Bagration-Moukhransky" does that title travel down to GD Georgi or was it only his grandmother's title because she was the direct issue of the Georgian crown prince?
I noticed that his mother's claim to the Russian throne seems to hinge on the royalty (as opposed to nobility) of Princess Leonida's birth, and I can't find anywhere that he or Grand Duchess Maria are titled a prince/princess of Georgia, even if it is their cousins who are the main claimants to the Georgian throne.
Basically I'm asking could GD Georgi be called a Bagration-Moukhransky prince by birth or would his 2nd cousin (claimant to Georgian throne) have to give him the title?
I know a lot of the royal families reigning monarch's cousins are titled 'prince' or 'princess' of that family and I was curious as to why this doesn't crop up with GD Georgi, if the Georgian royal connection is so important to them - or is it politically expedient for them as Russians not to be connected with the Georgians?
Hope this isn't a dumb question....
With thanks,
