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

of Kirill which includes an epilogue written by his
