The members of this family bear the title Grand
Duke/Grand Duchess of
As with many royal families which have not reigned for a
considerable period of time, disputes have arisen as to who should be
considered the head of the family and heir to the right to be claimant to the
throne. As long as Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich lived there was no question
who it should be. After his execution was confirmed, however, things became
very muddy. The next member of the family in terms of primogeniture was Grand
Duke Kirill Vladimirovich. However, some argue that because Kirill's mother had
never converted to Orthodoxy all three of her sons were ineligible to succeed.
Furthermore, some argue that even if Kirill was entitled to succeed as heir,
his children were not, because Kirill was married to a first cousin and married
her without permission of the Emperor, and furthermore swore loyalty to the
Duma before Nicholas II had abdicated, and all these factors are seen by some
as prohibiting the accession of Kirill's descendants. While many people
eventually recognized Kirill as heir, others persisted in believing that Grand
Duke Dimitri Pavlovich was the rightful heir. Currently there are no surviving
male members of the family born of equal marriages. It is said that unless a
member of the family makes an equal marriage, with the permission of the
Emperor, the issue of that marriage is not eligible to succeed. This raises the
question: if it's unclear who is the Emperor, how can his permission be
obtained? For instance, the late Prince Paul Dimitrievich Ilyinsky is
considered to be the product of an unequal marriage; but, if Grand Duke Kirill
was ineligible to succeed, then Grand Duke Dimitri himself was the head of the
house when he married, and needed no one's permission to do so, and it can be
argued that the head of the house can marry whomsoever he pleases.
Assuming, however, as most experts do, that Kirill was
eligible to succeed as heir to the Russian throne, and assuming also that his
son Wladimir's marriage is to be considered an eligible marriage, then Wladimir
was succeeded in 1992 by his daughter, all male-line members of the family born
of equal marriages having predeceased him. However, others dispute the
eligibility of Wladimir's marriage, and on that basis other descendants of the
family have advanced claims.
Lastly, though few members of the Romanov family ever
seem to care about this, they all appear to be dynasts of the old duchy of
Holstein-Gottorp, through their ancestor Emperor Peter

that he died on 12 October, and some generally authoritative books about him
and the family in general also say that he died on the 12th; one of these books
is a biography of Kirill which includes an epilogue written by his son
