Mariab>'s supporters counter that the marriage was later approved by Emperor Nicholas II in 1907, and that Nicholas accorded Victoria the title and style of "Her Imperial Highness Grandb> Duchessb> Viktoria Feodorovna of Russia."
The marriage between Mariab>'s father, Grandb> Duke Vladimir Cyrillovitch, and Princess Leonida Georgievna Bagration-Moukhransky was morganatic, and against the Dynastic Laws, since the royal status of the Bagration-Moukhranskys was questioned.
Opponents of Mariab> say that the Emperor was not able to change Church Law by his own decision.

Mariab> Vladimirovna of Russia

Luxembourg is a constitutional monarchy; the grandb> duke is the head of state, but he swears to observe the country's laws and has little political power.

Following the death of Prince Vassili of Russia, the last male Russian dynast other than Wladimir himself, Mariab> was declared heiress to the throne by virtue of the succession law under which the Crown would pass to the nearest female dynast to the last male of the House.
Emperor Nicholas II had had to determine whether the marriage of two Grandb> Dukes to Princesses of the tiny state of Montenegro could be considered equal, since, unlike the Bagrations, this family had not been reigning at the time Paul's laws were promulgated.
It was this action that led several dynasts, who had hitherto accepted the Grandb> Duke's authority as Head of the House without challenge, to join with the dissenting Prince Roman and protest at his action.

The Succession Question

Furthermore, criticism has been often levelled whether justly or not at the Grandb> Duke Kirill with regard to his breaking the oath of allegiance to the Emperor Nicholas II in 1917 and his assumption of the imperial title in 1924 which was against the express wishes of the Dowager Empress Mariab> Feodorovna.
In order to avoid the Austrian example where all members of the Imperial House were designated Archdukes, in Russia only sons and daughters or grandsons and granddaughters (in the male line) of a reigning Emperor were permitted to the rank of Grandb> Duke or Grandb> Duchessb> and the qualification of Imperial Highness.
Nonetheless genealogically speaking with the death of the Grandb> Duke Kirill his son Prince Vladimir Kirillovich was the senior male and as such head of the family.

Monarchy's Heirs Inherit Family Feud

On one side of the split stands Grandb> Duchessb> Leonida Georgiyevna, 84, and her daughter Grandb> Duchessb> Mariab> Vladimirovna, 45, an Oxford graduate who lives in Madrid with her son, Prince Georgy Hohenzollern-Romanov, 17.
Mariab> Vladimirovna has openly courted the press, and with some success: She has often been referred to by Western journalists as the most senior member of the Romanov family, and Georgy has been mentioned as the most commonly recognized heir to the throne.
On the other side of the fence stands Grandb> Duke Nikolai Romanovich Romanov, 76, who, as a republican, does not believe in the restoration of the monarchy in Russia - even though he would be a b contender for the throne were that to happen.

The Alexander Palace - Grandb> Duchessb> Mariab> Pavlovna (the Younger) by Grant Menzies

Perhaps it was because she had never had much of a childhood herself that Grandb> Duchessb> Marie Pavlovna of Russia, daughter of Grandb> Duke Paul Aleksandrovich and Aleksandra of Greece, had no great affinity for the toddlers of this world.
She gave birth that night to a son who, though surviving the trek, with his Putiatin grandparents, out of soviet Russia later that year, would perish of disease in Romania.
(Mariab> and Anastasia were too young, but did have their own hospital in Tsarskoe Selo.) Marie's portrait, looking wry in her nurse's kerchief, appeared with the more solemn faces of other female Romanovs in one of the last Fabergé eggs made for the imperial court, the so-called Red Cross Egg.

RUSSIAN IMPERIAL SUCCESSION, by BRIEN HORAN

In addition, two of the Grandb> Duke Kirill's children, Mariab> and Kira, were born during the monarchy, and both are listed in the court calendar; the third child, Wladimir, was born in August 1917, shortly after the fall of the monarchy and the publication of the last official court calendar.
Grandb> Duke George's eventual succession as head of the dynasty will mark the first time that the Romanoff succession has passed through the female line since the promulgation of the present succession laws in 1797, but it will not be the first time in the history of the Romanoff dynasty.
In the event, Grandb> Duke Constantine Pavlovich was the only male dynast to effect such a renunciation between the time of the promulgation of the Pauline law in 1797 and the publication of the last court calendar in 1917.

On Specific Issues Within Monarchism

It is certainly significant that Mariab> Vladimirovna and her son are actively interested in a restoration of the Russian monarchy, whereas Nicholas Romanovich is a republican and has no desire to be tsar, insisting only that he is the head of the family.
As his only child, Mariab>s position would seem clear; unfortunately the matter is complicated by the question of whether her fathers marriage to Princess Leonida Bagration-Moukhransky was in fact an equal marriage.
This is because the laws of the Russian Imperial family stipulate that only persons born of equal marriages (that is, a Romanov father and a mother of royal birth) are dynasts.

Life of the Holy New Martyr Grandb> Duchessb> Elizabeth

The grandb> duchessb> paid special attention to the unfortunate children who bore within themselves the curse of their fathers' sins, the children born in the turbid slums of Moscow only to wither before they had a chance to blossom.
For the society of that time, the decision of the grandb> duchessb> to dismiss her court in order to leave the world and dedicate herself to serving God and neighbor, seemed as scandal and madness.
Bishop Germogen (at this time of Saratov, later of Tobolsk where he was martyred), because of a misunderstanding, stood up against this idea, accusing the grandb> duchessb> without any foundation, of Protestant tendencies (of which he later repented), and counseled her to abandon her cherished dream.
