So after Prince Charles's remarks (privately uttered) comparing Putin to Hitler, GDss Maria V has weighed in:

Alexander Zakatov, head of the Romanov administration, said Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna backed Mr Putin in his dispute with Ukraine over Crimea...“The Grand Duchess has offered her reasoning why the Crimea had always been with Russia,” he said. “It was a tragic mistake of the 20th century that suddenly Crimea was out of Russia.”

She is trying to gain political capital with Putin. Like her grandmother Ducky, she could be political & controversial.

Thanks. Haven't seen her wear that for awhile. Maybe it was sold. Does not seem to belonged to either Grandmother Ducky or Great Grandmothers Miechen or Marie Coburg.

Grand Duke Georgiy Mikhailovich has an un-ebenbürtig girlfriend, Rebecca Bettarini, the daughter of the Italian ambassador to Belgium.
See pics

How does matushka cope!?

A shame that it's more proof he isn't gay. I would have preferred the whole circus to end on a natural, liberal note.

MV can't let them marry... Her claim for head of the house is only because of "Ebenbürtigkeit".

Georgi and Rebecca will end like Gustav, Hereditary Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Carina Axelsson... or he get a royal bride instead.

I don't really concern myself with the issue of pretenders and who is rightfully head of the house of Romanov. It's very unlikely a monarchy will ever return to Russia anyway. And even if it did, who's to say that a Romanov will rule? Maybe a new dynasty (like House of Putin!) will rise up and take over just like the Romanovs took over from the Ruriks after the Time of Troubles. Maria is pursuing a throne that will never be hers.

Князь Георгий Романов и его девушка посетили Бал Ривьеры в Португалии
В конце сентября князь Георгий и его девушка Ребекка Беттарини посетили Бал Ривьеры в Лисабонне, Португалия.
На королевских инофорумах заговорили о скорой  помолвке.

Prince Georgiy Romanov and his girlfriend attended the Bal de la Riviera in Portugal.
At the of September Prince Georgiy Romano and his girlfriend Rebecca Bettarini attended the Bal de la Riviera in Lissabon, Portugal.
On royalty forums there are rumours about an upcoming engagement.

See http://ru-royalty.livejournal.com/3435336.html
The ball was hosted by Prince Charles-Philippe d'Orléans and the guest of honour was Prince Albert of Monaco.
Russian commentators are saying that Prince Georgiy and his girfriend looked "Прям цыганский барон", straight out of the Gypsy Baron.

I think so too, but I wonder how will they resolve succession problems that will arrive after his wedding...

There would be many pretenders arousing if you disqualify "equal marriage"  requirement...as there are many male line descendants and also some other female line pretenders (Prince zu Leiningen and his wife who also converted to Orthodoxy).

We must wait and see what will happen...

The union many would consider morganatic (based on the claims of the groom's mother) fittingly flanked by Soviet-style attendants in work uniforms:

Well, by making her daughter in law HSH, didn't Maria Vladimirovna herself indicate what she thinks about the equality of the marriage?
