Should this article not be titled Irina Romanova. She was not an "Imperial Highness" merely a "Serene Highness". Since by Romanov legislation she was not a Grand Duchess "of Russia". In imperial Russia she was considered and titled as the daughter of a grand-son of a Tsar. Her brothers were all Prince (Christian name) Romanov. The fact through her mother she was a grand-daughter of Alexander III was legally discounted, at her wedding, at the Anitchkov Palace she did not wear the Romanov bridal regalia which symbolized a Grand Duchess/Princess "of Russia" and in her youth before becoming Princess Yusupov was always titled Princess Irina Romanova. Finally had she considered herself "of Russia" she would not have allowed herself, following her marriage, to be styled "Princess Yusupov" as the "of Russia" would have taken precedence over her husband's title. If there is no objection to this I will move the page in 14 days from now to Irina, Princess Romanov leaving this page as a redirect. There probably needs to be a redirect from Princess Yusupov too. 81.131.159.87 22:52, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Irina and her brothers were still Princes/Princess of Russia, so this is in the right place. Morhange 20:28, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
