[edit] Heirs since 1974
In 1890 all male line descendants of Nicholas duke from 1852 to 1891 were named Dukes of Leuctenberg by Alexander III of Russia as they were by then members of the extended Russian Imperial Family. The title was mostly nominal. The current heir to Duke Nicholas is his great grandson Nicholas (born 1933).
