The royal baby was named after Maria's direct ancestor Emperor Alexander II.

Viktoria will not bear the title of Grand Duchess and style of HIH but she will bear the title of Princess (Fuerstin in German) and style HSH. But I think that their children will bear titles of Grand Dukes/Duchesses and styles of HIH I read somewhere that Gr Dss Maria needs an approval of...

Now I understand why GrDss J-Ch cried on the wedding day of Henri and MT

Marriage at last! Within European royal and noble circles intense rumors have been spreading for recent months that Gr Dss Maria Wladimirovna is fed up with Prince Georgi's refusal to marry, and that she is arranging a marriage between Prince Georgi and Princess Leonie of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach...

By the way, about Princess Michael's studying of Russian language. Maybe it was due to some attempts in Russia to consider Prince Michael as alleged heir to the Russian Throne (because of his close blood relation to the last czar). Official heiress Maria Vladimirovna is a rival claimant and...

She is very prominent and outstanding Princess - Her father Gunter is not mentioned by her and her family (everyone understand why, WWII stuff that needs to be forgotten, though he didn't support nazis, he was decent man), and her Grand father Count Friedfrich Szapary was Austria-Hungraian...

The situation is very difficult and serious. Maria Vladimirovna has been arguing for a long time with other Romanovs about who can legally belong to Imperial family. And she always focused mostly on the unequal (morganatic) marriages of the rest of Romanovs. And now, obviously Georgi refuses to...

Some time ago - there was Albanian royal wedding, where many royals were present, (by the way Pr and Pss Michael of Kent without their daughter Gabrielle) - and there were also Maria Vladimirovna and Georgi - pics are posted on their FB page. There was only one unmarried princess among the...

Oh yes, agree. She is so proud of her royal descending, Marie-Christine once said that her marriage to Pr Michael is the only royal-blooded marriage in British Royal Family since Queen Elizabeth married Pr Philip of Greece

I agree that Maria Wladimirovna would accept her. But what about her mother? Would Pss Marie-Christine accept him?

It had been cleared out on the first pages of this thread what is the difference in titles between "von" and "zu". But what about "zur"? It's used in Lippe title. Why "zur"?

The purpose of that post was to prove that lots of German Royal and princely families members STILL marry equally, because in some of previous posts it was mentioned that they don't

They are (only some of them, actually more): Carl, Duke of Württemberg and his elder son Max, Markgrave of Baden and his brother Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia (many of Prussians now marry equally) Anton-Gunter, Duke of Oldenburg and his son and brother Prince Hans-Adam of Liechtenstein and...

With the exception of the Prussian Royal House, none of today's heirs or pretenders have married equally. It is incorrect - VERY MANY mambers of Non-reigning german royal or princely houses STILL marry equally!

Very incorrect statement. There are many reigning catholic monarchies in Europe that has brides and very many non-reigning but still royal catholic houses that can provide a bride: Portugal, France, Two Sicilies, Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Italy, Saxony, Hohenzollern, Baden, Saxe-Coburg...

There can be no comparison between Russian noble families and the Bagration-Mouhkransky family because other Russian noble families were never reigning but Bagration-Mouhkransky family had reigned till 1800. There is a great difference! The Bagration-Mouhkransky family is almost Royal - unlike...

Russian Imperial laws require that the Heir to the Throne's wife to be converted to Orthodoxy. And it would be doubtedly permitted by Brazilian side... Although - matter of citizenship is easier - Russian legislation allows their citizens to bear simultaneously citizenship of other countries...

He is a descendant of Nicholas II's cousin Gr Duke Kirill of Russia Yes, it is a question that must be cleared. Since the time of Peter I the Great when Romanovs began to make marriages with European (mostly German) royal houses, the brides they chose were all from protestant mostly (sometimes...

Is the Family Catholic? There were a few catholic wives recently (Austria and Hohenzollern). Any idea about potential bride for Pr Alexander? Duke Borwin married not equally - isn't it considered as morganatic marriage with no succession rights?

What other Romanovs can say if the only legal Head of the House, Empress Maria I will change marriage laws? What can they say if they had already failed them? At that time Maria's family didn't fail them but married equally (or almost equally) unlike all the rest of the Romanovs

Yes, you are right about Bagration belonging to Russian nobility (its upper level, as being ex-royals in the nearest past). But excluding Tatiana from succession rights happened at that period time (golden age of European Royal houses and multiple marriages between them). At this point marriage...

Please don't forget, that recently Gr Dss Maria (de-jure Empress Maria I) said in her interview that there is a possibility that Gr Duke George could marry a non-royal (and obviously non-noble) Russian girl. But for this the Dynastic Rules of Russian Imperial Family have to be changed and...

Vladimir's marriage wasn't so morganatic as those of other Romanovs after 1918. Family of Gr Dss Leonida was once reigning in Kingdom of Georgia. So, taking this into account and strong willness of Maria to serve her Motherland Russia - there can be no regarding of Alexander of Yugoslavia at...

The most perfect choice for him is Princess Leonie of Saxe-Weimar, dau of Pr Michael of Saxe-Weimar. She is 4 or 5 years younger.. and they say she is beautiful

It is ridiculous that Pr Constantin cannot be considered as heir apparent to the Saxe-Meiningen House.. He is the son of Friedrich-Ernest, Prinz von Saxe-Meiningen (according to Gotha almanach) and Pss of Saxe-Coburg. Yes, his father was son of Duke of saxe-Meiningen and non-titled woman, but...
