possible wives for Prince Georgy

[David_Pritchard]

I prefer Altinaï as that royal house is heading in the direction of extinction.

If Maria is looking for a girl with money, however, and she doesn't mind her son marrying a German, then she could consider HSH Princess Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis (b. 1982?). I mean her brother's a billionare, surely she'd bring a large dowry, that is if they still do that kind of thing.

HSH Princess Elisabeth Margarete Maria Anna Beatriz von Thurn und Taxis born at Regensburg, Germany on  24 March 1982 would be an excellent choice.

I doubt this German princess would change her religion.  She is Roman Catholic and George must marry an Orthodox princess.

Especially as her mother is a devoted catholic and close to the Pope...

And if he marries the daughter of a super super rich Russian oligarch ??

  

[LisaDavidson]

Then the Imperial House will essentially be through. Because marriage to someone not of royal descent and not a member of a dynasty would be considered unequal.

Perdon me for bringing this up, and believe me, it's not scandal-mongering, but has Georgy been linked with any female to date?  He's in his early twenties and surely must have formed some attachments.

There aren't a lot of "eligible" (meaning Orthodox, equal-house, child-bearing age) females about that have enough money to support Georgy in the style that his half-aunt's inheritance has accustomed him to having, and to which his mother's pretensions compel him.

To whom has he been linked?  The only photos I've seen him with women are the typical Euro-trash "all the fun people play together" where he's gyrating away with a cluster of sweaty men and scantily-clad women.  Hope he's not with either of those groups.  But I haven't seen much either way.

[LisaDavidson]

Georgiy is still rather young and his selection of a marital partner is of more import than it is for the rest of us. It is my understanding that he is a healthy young man. His partner must have appropriate royal pedigree and be willing to marry him. I also think she needs to have considerable assets of money and property.

I wish him well, and agree with David a T& T princess would make an excellent choice.

The "problem" with a Rurikid princess is that they are excluded from the Fundamental Law in effect in 1917.

who is David?

Prince David Bagration-Mukhrani and Princess Anna Bagration-Gruzinsky,they married a few months ago remember?
And he didn't look all too happy at the occasion,as several noticed then.Now it appears the marriage is over and done with,in fact it
was within two months.The family considers the affair a private one so no statements will be issued.

They both look like they have swallowed a lemon!

RemeMber though, that this was during the time when the Georgians attacked South Ossetia, and the Russians moved in and kicked the stuffing out of them.
Perhaps it was a marriage of convenience, more for political resons than one of love and HOT PASSION??
