Requested move

Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia → Maria Alexandrovna of Russia – WP convention for names of wives of sovereigns dictates "name of maiden country" should be used, such as Mary of Teck or Alice of the United Kingdom. --Matjlav^(talk) 20:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I would like to note the move to this page was done unilaterally by Yanksta x who has a history of unilaterally moving many pages, so I will move it back to its original position and offer this page for discussion. --Matjlav^(talk) 20:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Later life

Latest comment: 16 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Interesting that she lived the rest of her life in Coburg. Must have been difficult during WW1, as a Russian princess whose daughter is married to the king of Romania (both countries at war with Germany). Does anyone have more information on that period of her life? Indisciplined 16:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes, also seems rather silly to have a paragraph entitled "Later Life" that includes only a sentence about her death! Mapjc 04:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm just wondering if perhaps Maria Alexandrovna married Prince Alfred because she was already pregnant with his child. If you look at the date of her marriage (April 23, 1874) and the date of her son Alfred's birth (October 15, 1874) it makes me wonder ... was the Grand Duchess pregnant already with Alfred's child, or was the child born premature? Just thought I woudl throw that out there for further consideration ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.88.133.71 (talk) 22:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Granted precedence

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Ok, so the text says she was granted precedence directly after Alexandra. Surely she had that position automatically, since she was married to the queen's second son? D B D 15:35, 2 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Protestantism

She must have converted to Protestantism or she would have not been able to marry 2A00:23C7:5882:8201:B48C:CAF5:8647:A650 (talk) 16:11, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

It was not nessecary so she did not. Her father was the head of the orthodox church. EmilySarah99 (talk) 05:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
