About Grand Duke George Mikhailovich of Russia

Grand Duke George Mikhailovich of Russia (Russian: Георгий Михайлович Романов, romanized: Georgij Mihajlovič Romanov, also spelled Romanoff; German: Georg Michailowitsch Romanow; born 13 March 1981) is the heir apparent to Maria Vladimirovna, a claimant to the disputed headship of the imperial family of Russia. He is the only child of Maria and her former husband, Prince Franz Wilhelm of Prussia. George's mother attributes to him the title of Tsesarevich and he bears the prefix of "Grand Duke" with the style of Imperial Highness, which is still being questioned. As the son of a cadet member of the branch of the House of Hohenzollern which formerly ruled the German Empire and Kingdom of Prussia, he is also sometimes entitled "Prince of Prussia" with the style of Royal Highness. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, a claimant to the throne of the Imperial House of Russia, announced that her first grandchild will be called "His Serene Highness Prince Alexander Georgievich Romanov". Alexander's baptisim marks the first time a descendant of the House of Romanov has been baptized in Russia since the Russian Revolution. George spent the first years of his life in France before moving to Spain.
