Grand Duke Georgi and Princess Victoria Romanovna & Family 1: Oct. 2021-

[Countessmeout]

Interesting to note that the GD says that the little Princess is named after Saint Kyra or Beroea and not directly for their relatives.

I bet Kira is as pretty as her big brother.

Georgi and his wife now have a perfect little family.

Traditionally, in the Orthodox church one has only one given name. There’s a paragraph in the autobiography of Queen Anna of Romania about that, she wanted for one of her daughters to be named Anne Marie and her MIL explained it to her that it would be against the church’s guidance, not even Marianna as it was taken to be as Marie Anna. Now it is (just a little) more accepted by the church.

Sorry for the off topic example.

No photos yes, but Princess Victoria has given an interview to Spanish Vanitatis about the birth in Rome, big brother Alexander still being pretty confused about the new arrival, the choice of name and the christening planned for July, either in Rome as well or in Moscow:

They haven't added any information yet, but as said above the christening will be held in July, so it must have been another kind of presentation, blessing or the like.

Could it be that it is from when she left the hospital

Could it be that it is from when she left the hospital

Judging from the background I can't imagine that.

As said above I rather think it's a blessing, presentation today or yesterday, maybe at the Russian Orthodox Church or another building that belongs to the parish.

Or registering the birth. But then one would not take the child too it.

Who were the Godparents ?

I believe I spy Emanuelle Filiberto standing behind the gentleman holding the baby, perhaps he is one of the godparents.

Prince Emanuele Filibert of Savoy was Princess Kira's godfather.

The photos of baby Princess Kira eye-to-eye with her grandmother are so adorable!
Very beautiful little family of four.

 

[Countessmeout]

I absolutely love the photos with the proud grandmother and Kira staring at each other, so sweet.

Happy family event all around, and great photos.

Well-spotted!

Beautiful family portraits were released today - only the big brother is missing, but maybe more will released soon:

Lovely family pictures. It would have been nice to see the big brother though.

Does Georgi have a relationship with his father? I don't follow this couple much other then since their kids, but don't think I have ever seen the Prince with his son and family.

 

[Benjamin]

Does Georgi have a relationship with his father? I don't follow this couple much other then since their kids, but don't think I have ever seen the Prince with his son and family.

Franz Wilhelm and his son George have a relationship. When George was young, their relationship was not public knowledge because George was raised by his mother Maria, who had custody of their son, as well as by his maternal grandparents Vladimir and Leonida. However, Franz Wilhelm did have visitation with George. There have been some very cute pictures shared by the House of Romanoff Instagram account of young George with his father and one of his Prussian aunts.

In 2011, George attended the wedding of his cousin Georg Friedrich to Sophie. He accompanied his mother; however, his father also attended with his now wife Nadia. The four of them were not photographed together. However, in 2017, at the Leiningen/Preussen wedding, there was a charming picture of George, his parents, and his eventual stepmother walking through the hallway of (guessing) Amorbach. In 2019, it was George who announced on his Instagram account the marriage of his father and Nadia: "Congratulations to my father that recently got married to this beautiful lady."

Since George and Victoria’s engagement and marriage, Victoria has shared many more photos of Franz Wilhelm with the family on her Instagram.

Thank you for that and sent me looking. Found this cute photo on her page.

Not a lot of Royals did attend the Baptism. I am surprised. For his Wedding and Pre Wedding a lot of minor Royals.
HIH Grand Duchess Maria lost her Glory. She attended a lot of Royal Events in the Past with her Son.

I remember at King Baudouin s Funerals Grand Duchess Maria went direcly to the second row who were sitting the Members of the belgian Royal Family ?
