Russian royal family :
From the maternal perspective, the groom Georgi will be the first successor to the throne.
Georgi became the first heir to the throne of the Tsar, all because of his mother. His mother, Grand Duke Maria Vladimirovna, is the most direct descendant of the Tsarist royal family today. As her biological son, Georgi is naturally the heir to the throne.
As for the descendants of the Tsarist lineage, was passed down in Nicholas II . Specifically, in the late night of July 16, 1918, or early in the morning of July 17, Nicholas II, his wife, four daughters and a son were collectively executed.
The last Tsar Nicholas II and his family
There are no survivors in the line of Nicholas II, but the Romanov family has individual bloodlines abroad.
The theory of capital allocation is upThis allowed Grand Duke Maria Vladimirovna to pick up a big deal, and also earned an emperor title for her son, Georgi~
Maybe some friends already know it, Paul I ( Paul I, Russian: Па́вел I Петро́вич, is Russian Romanov dynasty thirteenth Tsar , 1797 emperor in Russian empire span1797) On April 5, "Decree on the Succession to the All-Russian Imperial Throne" ( Decree on the Succession to the All-Russian Imperial Throne ) was promulgated.
Around the succession of the throne, Paul I formulated a series of principles, clearly stipulating that the Russian throne shall be based on the principle of eldest son inheritance.
Strictly speaking, Georgi is , it is difficult to not reach the succession rank, because this royal blood comes from the matriline; in addition, Alexander II and Nikola I are descendants of exist.
But the Grand Duke Maria Vladimirovna is currently officially certified heirs for various reasons, so other heirs can only look at the "foreign" and sigh.

[Information development 2] Tsarist Russian emperor title _strong5 strong _strong5span _strong5span_strong _strong5span_strong_span4 can have the realistic conditions for ascending the throne, then his title should be:

Conclusion:
If this happened in other constitutional monarchies, it would not attract too much attention.
But in a country with a special history like Russia, such a scene was staged grandiosely,It's really amazing.
After all, Georgi I once said: "The throne is a responsibility-a very important responsibility. If someone asks us to inherit the throne, we will accept this responsibility without hesitation." If the Russians hope to restore the monarchy one day, we are ready to respond to their call."
His inner thoughts can be described as unconcealed.
Looking at the beginning of the twentieth century, the crowns of European countries fell one after another.
Now that nearly a hundred years have passed, the "throne coveters" are still active in people's sight, and are trying to pick up the old crown again.
This may be a phenomenon worthy of attention and consideration for people today.
