Interview with Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, Head of the Russian Imperial House

H.I.H. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, Head of the Russian Imperial House, was interviewed by Al Gurnov of RussiaToday, on 16 Jul 2008. The discussion was about the murder and rehabilitation of the Imperial family of Tsar Nicholas II, the authenticity of the discovered remains and the position of the Church on the subject, the greatest Russian historical figure, the restoration of the monarchy in Russia, President Putin, and the possible role of herself should she return to Russia.

Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna was born in Madrid, the only child of Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich of Russia, head of the Imperial Family of Russia and titular Emperor of Russia, and Princess Leonida Bagration-Mukhrani of Georgian, Polish, German and Swedish descent. Her paternal grandparents were Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia and Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna (née Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha). Her godfather was Prince Nicholas of Romania and godmother, Queen Ioanna of Bulgaria.

She was educated at Runnymede College in Madrid and Paris before studying Russian history and literature at Oxford University. The Grand Duchess lives in France and Spain. She is fluent in Russian, English, French, and Spanish, and also speaks some German, Italian, and Arabic.

On 23 December 1969, upon reaching her dynastic majority, Maria swore an oath of loyalty to her father, to Russia, and to uphold the Fundamental Laws of Russia which governed succession to the defunct throne.
