Grand Duchess Maria Nikolayevna, and her descendants

[yussupov29]

Do you know where the family lives today?

[ashdean]

I think part of the family emigrated to Canada.

[Lucien]

Were the Leuchtenberg-Romanowsky family descendents of Eugène-Rose de Beauharnais, the stepson of Napoleon I Bonaparte, who married a Baverian princes?Beauharnais was made Duke of Leuchtenberg by his father in law king Maximilian I Joseph of Baviera.

In munich there is a palais Leuchtenberg in Ludwigstraße. A beautiful, big palace which today houses the ministry of finance.

Famous Daria of Leuchtenberg when a little girl

[Teddy]

In the war time correspondence of Nicky and Alix, Daria is mentioned 2 or 3 times. For what I understand of this lady, is that she was very pushing,  begging and very demanding.

She was a Grand Dame,who did what she wanted and didn't mind what other people thought about that.

All living today Leuchtenbergs are descendants of Duke Nikolai (1843-91), eldest son of GDss MN and Duke Max of Leuchtenberg.

Here's the genealogy:

This portrait depicts Maximilian, Duke of Leuchtenberg. He was GD Maria Nikolayevna's husband. The portrait was made by the painter Karl Stieler, who also has done some portraits of the Bavarian royal family.
