I have removed a text that was in the article, because it really is very random, I'll paste it here to keep, maybe after reformatting it can be included in the main article again. Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia, following her marriage to The Prince Alfred, later Duke of Edinburgh and later Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the second son of Queen Victoria, used the style. As a daughter of a Russian Emperor, Marie was styled Imperial Highness from birth. Upon her marriage, her father Emperor Alexander II's insistence that his daughter be styled "Her Imperial Highness" and have precedence over the then Princess of Wales (the former Princess Alexandra of Denmark) infuriated Queen Victoria. The Queen insisted that the style "Her Royal Highness" Marie Alexandrovna acquired upon marriage, should always precede the style "Her Imperial Highness," which was hers by birth. For her part, the new Duchess of Edinburgh apparently resented the fact that the Princess of Wales, who was the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, took precedence over her, the daughter of the Russian Tsar. After the marriage, Marie was varyingly referred to as Her Royal Highness, Her Royal and Imperial Highness, and Her Imperial and Royal Highness. Gryffindor 11:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think it is largely irrelevant and not in keeping with the general style of the rest of the articles in this series. Charles 18:45, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
