Grand Prince Vladimir and his fiancee
Grand Prince Vladimir, brother of Tsar Alexander II, pictured with his future wife, Duchess Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin at the time of their engagement in 1874. Styled Grand Princess Maria Pavlovna on her marriage, Marie was the first Romanov bride to refuse to convert to Orthodoxy, and her assertive and self-confident personality remained a formidable force within the Imperial royal family. She was the centre of fashionable society in St Petersburg and a rival of the Empress Maria Feodorovna
