Sources close to the Russian Orthodox Church in Paris have informed us that Rostislav Romanoff, whose grandfather was a member of the Russian Imperial House, is to marry the former Foteini Georganta in an Orthodox ceremony at the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Paris on September 12. If this report is accurate, The Russian Legitimist sends the newlyweds its best wishes on their religious marriage. The couple's civil wedding occurred in October 2019 in the United Kingdom.

Rostislav Romanoff, an artist who was born in Illinois, U.S.A., in 1985, is a grandson of His Highness the late Prince Rostislav of Russia (died 1978), one of the six sons of Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich of Russia. In 1924, Prince Rostislav, along with his father and several of his brothers, signed an oath of allegiance to Grand Duke Kirill as Emperor of Russia and Head of the Imperial House and to Grand Duke Vladimir as Tsesarevich and Heir.

His Highness Prince Rostislav of Russia, a member of the Imperial House, was married three times. All of his marriages were morganatic. Therefore, under the dynastic laws, none of his descendants is a member of the Russian Imperial House. His grandson Rostislav Romanoff, however, remains related to the Imperial House and has traveled frequently to the country of his ancestors.

Many years to the happy couple!
