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)Reply

Yes, all of Alexander and Xenia's children were styled HH Prince/ss of Russia. Why Irina chose not to wear the Romanov bridal regalia is not clear to me, but she seemed a modern sort of girl. I don't find it remarkable that she preferred to use her husband's title in exile; many women did the same, and continue to do so today out of choice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.140.30 (talk) 23:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I remember reading "Lost Splendor" where it mentioned that she must signed off all her legitimate claim to the throne if she is to marry outside the noble family. So I guess that's why.

Also don't you think this article talkes too much about other people instead of her? Why is GD Tatiana's picture even up there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.75.181 (talk) 06:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Irina didn't write a lot herself. Other people wrote about her and she's most historically significant for her marriage to Yussupov and involvement in the murder of Rasputin. That's why I included the descriptions of Yussupov in her biography, because it helped explain the story and Irina's own reactions in the section with the letter exchanges between her and Yussupov. --Bookworm857158367 12:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
