Worth mentioning

• On July 14, 1886 modified Tsar Alexander III. the house of the Romanovs laws by restricting the title " Grand Duke " or " Grand Duchess " on the children and grandchildren in the male line of a tsar. Distant descendants would henceforth bear the title "Imperial Prince" or " Imperial Princess ". So Georgi, a great-grandson of Tsar Nicholas I, was only a "Imperial Prince" by birth.
