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 "Princess ". So Tatiana, a great-granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I, was only a " Imperial Princess " by birth.
- She was the first female Romanov, who married a subject or not dynastic princes open since 1613, the dynasty came to the Russian throne. The marriage was not regarded as an unequal marriage, as the house Bagration ( Georgia and Armenia) as the house of Orléans ( France), had once been a ruling dynasty. It was different when Mikhail Mikhailovich Romanov grand duke, married to Countess Sophia de Torby (1891 ) and Grand Duke Pavel Alexandrovich Romanov Princess Olga Paley married to (1902 ), have been: they made their marriage public and it had to live in exile. Or an unequal marriage in secret, like the Empress Elizabeth Petrovna Romanova married to Count Alexei Grigorievich Razumovsky ( 1732) and the second marriage of the Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna with Count Grigory Stroganov (1854 ).
